Description - Lucy Foley Untitled 1 by Lucy Foley

Be swept away to post-war Constantinople - where East meets West, the old order tangles with the new, where love can cross any divide...The third historical novel, rich & beautifully woven, from the new Victoria Hislop. Constantinople, 1921Each day, Nur looks out across the Bosphorus to the dark green hillside of another continent and sees a beautiful white house. It is a mirage of her former life; before her family fell from grace, before the Great War sent her world crumbling down in a riotous cloud of khaki and blue - the colours of the Allied soldiers who now possess her city. Nur supports her family by embroidering beautiful linens, but she also does it for The Boy. He's an orphan in her care, and she'll do anything to protect him.When The Boy falls dangerously ill, Nur's world becomes entwined with the enemy. Her old home across the Bosphorus has been colonised by the British and transformed into an Army hospital. All that's left for her are the ghosts of childhood memories. And now she has no choice - in her house, in her city - but to plead help from Doctor George Munroe.As The Boy gets slowly stronger, Nur and George grow closer. Although they're from opposing worlds, love knows no boundaries. But Constantinople brims with danger and the tremors of change. The war has drawn new lines and with loyalties tested like never before, letting someone go might be the purest love of all...
