Shadows Over Paradise: A Novel

For readers of Kate Morton and Jamie Ford comes a captivating novel of two very different women, struggling to come to terms with the ghosts from their pastâ€”by the internationally bestselling author of A Vintage Affair and The Very Picture of You
Â
Sometimes the only way forward is through the past.
Â
Jenni Clark is a ghostwriter. She loves to immerse herself in other peopleâ€™s storiesâ€”a respite from her own life, and from a relationship that appears to be nearing its end. Jenniâ€™s latest assignment takes her to a coastal hamlet in England, where sheâ€™s agreed to pen the memoir of an elderly farm owner named Klara. Jenni assumes the project will be easy: a quiet, ordinary tale of a life well lived.
Â
But Klaraâ€™s story is far from quiet. She recounts the tale of a family torn apart by World War II, and of disgraceful acts committed against a community in the Japanese prison camps on the Pacific island paradise of Java. As harrowing details emerge and stunning truths come to light, Jenni is compelled to confront a secret sheâ€™s spent a lifetime burying.
Â
Weaving together the lives of two very different women, Isabel Wolff has created a captivating novel of love, loss, and hope that reaches across generations.
