Read by Miranda Raison (Lessons in Chemistry)

Unlocking the past is the key to the future . . .

From Lucinda Riley, the international bestselling author of The Seven Sisters series, The Light Behind the Window is a breathtaking historical romance about love, war and, above all, forgiveness.


South of France, present day.

After the death of her glamorous, distant mother, Emilie de la Martiniéres finds herself alone in the world – and sole inheritor of her grand childhood home. A notebook of poems leads her to search for the mysterious and beautiful Sophia, whose tragic love affair changed the course of her family history. As Emilie unravels Sophia's story, she embarks on a journey of discovery, realizing that the château may provide clues to her own difficult past.

Paris, 1943.

Constance Carruthers, a young office clerk for M15, is drafted into a special operations team, arriving in occupied Paris during the climax of the conflict. Separated from her contact in France, she stumbles into the heart of a wealthy family who are caught up in a deadly game of secrets and lies. Forced to surrender her identity and all ties to her homeland, Constance is drawn into a complex web of deception, the repercussions of which will affect generations to come . . .

A thoroughly enjoyable story! I loved Lucinda Riley’s “The Love Letter” and this one may even exceed it. The reader can really feel the nightmare that life became for the French people during WWII and the enduring power of love. Great narration—the accents were right on.

One of the best books I ever listened to!

This story, of epic proportions, is a must-read. Both set in France and England, it is a heartfelt story that will pull at your heartstrings and often confound you.

The tale is woven with such precision and talent that I read it, or actually listened to it, in just two days as I could not stop listening. As I sit with tears in my eyes not only because of the beautiful ending but because I have finished the story and I’m so sad to leave these wonderful characters ibehind. I now have read almost all of my new favorite author’s books & I can truly say that this has become my favorite.

This was the 8th Lucinda Riley book I’ve listened to consecutively and was immersed. I couldn’t stop until I finished. The narrator was so pleasant to listen to and the story was incredible with many turns and unpredictable. I loved this book.
