Note to readers: In the UK, this book is published under the title The Light Behind the Window. An aristocratic French family, a legendary chteau, and buried secrets with the power to destroy two generations torn between duty and desire. La Cte dAzur, 1998: In the sun-dappled south of France, Emilie de la Martinires, the last of her gilded line, inherits her childhood home, a magnificent chteau and vineyard. With the property comes a mountain of debtand almost as many questions... Paris, 1944: A bright, young British office clerk, Constance Carruthers, is sent undercover to Paris to be part of Churchills Special Operations Executive during the climax of the Nazi occupation. Separated from her contacts in the Resistance, she soon stumbles into the heart of a prominent family who regularly entertain elite members of the German military even as they plot to liberate France. But in a city rife with collaborators and rebels, Constances most difficult decision may be determining whom to trust with her heart. As Emilie discovers what really happened to her family during the war and finds a connection to Constance much closer than she suspects, the chteau itself may provide the clues that unlock the mysteries of her past, present, and future. Here is a dazzling novel of intrigue and passion from one of the worlds most beloved storytellers.

I'm a fan of Riley and while this isn't my favourite of hers, it was a charming and atmospheric read. I loved the WW2 storyline and how it weaved its way through to the modern sections. I had a little spontaneous cry at the end which is always a nice surprise with a good book.

Two of my favourite books with windows on the covers, and in the title. Very different books, but did love them both in their own way. #ReadingResolutions #Windows
