Book Synopsis



Bestselling historical fiction author Molly Green is back with her most engrossing, heartfelt World War Two saga yet, The Wartime Librarian's Secret!

Amid the chaos of war, will a new chapter begin?

September 1942. Esme Donaldson is still grieving the devastating loss of her husband, Anthony, when she's forced out of her dream job by wartime budget cuts.

Left with few options, Esme faces an uncertain future - until a chance encounter sends her to Redcliffe Manor, a grand estate deep in the Somerset countryside, and an unexpected role as the manor's librarian.

As Esme settles in, she discovers the house is no ordinary country estate. The grounds have been requisitioned by an American military hospital, while the house is sheltering a displaced girls' boarding school. And as the halls echo with the feet of giggling schoolgirls, the grounds bustle with convalescing soldiers.

When she meets a handsome American colonel, the attraction between them is instant. But Esme holds a secret that may ruin everything. Will she find the strength to face her past or be kept from the happiness she deserves?

About the Author



MOLLY GREEN has travelled the world, unpacking her suitcase in a score of different countries which often became her new place of work. On returning to England, she set up an estate agency business which she ran and expanded for twenty-five years. Eventually, she sold her business to give herself time and space to pursue her dream to write novels. She has since moved to a village outside Lewes in East Sussex and writes her novels from a railway carriage in the garden, and hopes her new rescued cat, Betsy, will in time stroll over to keep her company.
