Description:
'An unforgettable tale of friendship, love, courage and survival. I loved every word of this fantastically engrossing novel. Jenny Lecoat is an author to watch!' Bestselling author Kelly Rimmer on The Girl from the Channel Islands



Jersey 1945. In the immediate aftermath of Liberation from the Nazis, Jean Parris and her family wait anxiously for news of her deported father.



But now a different kind of war is unleashed - a war amongst the islanders themselves. And as Jean, now a young woman, begins to question everything, she soon discovers not only the truth about her family, but the full implication of her own deceptions.



Beyond Summerland is a page-turning story of ordinary people in extraordinary times, and a tale of long-buried family secrets. It explores suspicion and prejudice, female friendship, and the fictions we cling to when we cannot afford to let them go; it is also a story of survival and the dangers of finding oneself on the wrong side of history.



Praise for The Girl from the Channel Islands:



'Lecoat capably combines historical fact with the fictional narrative, and offers a cast rich with multidimensional characters. Readers will be riveted.' Publishers Weekly



'...a compelling and beautifully written fictionalised account.' The Daily Telegraph



'Simply and directly told, this is a gentle story of friendship, love, and moral complexity.' Kate Forsyth



'[The Girl from the Channel Islands] shocks, pulls at the heartstrings, educates and inspires the reader...full of dangerous plot
