A successful Jewish stage actress in 1930s London finds love and sacrifice when she travels to pre-war Berlin in this heartwarming historical saga.

The year is 1930, and Alison Plantaine is a star. She is thirty and in the full bloom of her stage career. But she is lonely, and for years, no man had been able to compete with the pace and intensity of her life.

Only when she visits Berlin does she find a passion to rival the theatre. She falls madly in love with Richard Lindemann, who opens her eyes to what is happening around her. He shows her the dangers that may befall a nation under the grip of the Nazi regime. As Alison becomes involved in the concerns of those she cares for, she contemplates a world beyond the stage—a world that was moving faster and faster towards tragedy and war . . .

A historical saga about love from a much-loved novelist, perfect for fans of Rita Bradshaw and Margaret Dickinson.
