Belinda Alexandra returns with an exciting new novel as memorable as the scent of lavender.
At fourteen‚ Simone Fleurier is wrenched from her home on a Provençal lavender farm and sent to work in Marseilles. Her life there is hard and impoverished‚ but Simone discovers the music hall and a dream: to one day be a famous dancer and singer.
But when war threatens‚ Simone makes a decision that will lead to great danger − yet ultimately prove that love‚ just like wild lavender‚ can grow in the least likely of places...
Belinda Alexandra has created a tale of passion and courage that moves from the backstreets of Marseilles to the grand music theatres of Paris‚ from the countryside of Provence to decadent pre−war Berlin and jazz−age New York. Wild Lavender is a feast for the senses that will live on in the imagination long after the book is closed.
