あらすじ・解説
A secret love affair on a faraway island. Seas crawling with Japanese spies. A terrible war creeping ever closer...
India, 1940. And Rosie is devastated by the sudden death of her beloved mother. The parties, smiles, and games disappear, and although Rosie is desperate to stay in her home, her father cannot look after her. All alone in the world, she is sent to Sri Lanka to live with her mother’s friend Silvia and her three sons.
Time passes, and Rosie flourishes in her new home amongst the mango trees and canna lilies. And one day, under the heat of the Sri Lankan sun, she falls in love for the first time. But her happiness is short lived, for the brutal war that has devastated families and torn Europe apart is creeping closer to their island. One by one the men depart Sri Lanka, leaving Rosie with just memories and a broken heart she must hide.
As Rosie waits for letters that never come, tortured by stories of torpedoed ships and massacres of innocent families, she realises that she cannot just sit and wait for news. She volunteers to help the army, working in military intelligence to protect her island paradise. But then, her work brings shocking news that makes her blood run cold. The man she loved is missing, feared dead. Yet Rosie cannot lose hope - even as more women are left widows, more children left without fathers. But when the much longed-for news comes that the war is ended, and a limping wasted figure returns home, will one final devastating revelation tear Rosie’s world apart?
Fans of Hazel Gaynor, Fiona Valpy, Clare Flynn, and Kristin Hannah will be swept away by Those I Have Lost.
