Publisher's summary

Love and family. War and secrets. Betrayal and redemption.

New York Times best-selling author Susan Wiggs returns with a deeply emotional and atmospheric story that spans oceans and decades, from the present-day Delaware shore to the battlefields of WWII France.

Widowed by an unspeakable tragedy, Camille Palmer has made her peace with the past and settled into the quiet safety of life with her teenage daughter, Julie, in a sleepy coastal town. Then the arrival of a mysterious package breaks open the door to her family's secret past. In uncovering a hidden history, Camille has no idea that she's embarking on an adventure that will utterly transform her.

Camille, Julie, and Camille's father return to the French town of his youth, sparking unexpected memories - recollections that will lead them back to the dark days of the Second World War. And it is in the stunning Provençal countryside that they will uncover their family's surprising history.

While Provence offers answers about the past, it also holds the key to Camille's future. Along the way she meets a former naval officer who stirs a passion deep within her - a feeling that she thought she'd never experience again.

Now this hugely popular author has created her biggest, most powerful story yet - a beautiful and heartfelt novel that celebrates the bonds of family and pays homage to the sacrifices of the past.

Map of the heart

I loved the story but it was too short. Maybe developing the story line of the bullies would make it longer. I was sad that it finished so quickly.

interesting

So this is the typical "chick flick" type of book i.e widow afraid to love is brought back to life and love when she meets her perfect man. everyone even the teenager is happy in the end. really? in this day and age? but the book is interesting

Great story but so-so narration

The layers of this story and character development was great. However, all of the male voices narrated sounded the same- very forced from a female voice and flat of any emotion or inflection...Woykd be better to have a man narrate the male voices .

Good story with meaty plot.

I almost didn't listen to this one because the beginning was so negative. Once I learned the reason, it made sense.
