***

A heart-wrenching and evocative dual-timeline novel, perfect for fans of Santa Montefiore, Rachel Hore, Lucinda Riley and Kristin Hannah.

Paris, 1942: Anabel Martinet is a jewel thief, descended from a family that has spent centuries stealing from the unkind and giving to the deserving. Never has that mattered more than now, in the midst of the Nazi Occupation, and despite the enormous risks, Anabel begins stealing from Germans and collaborators and funnelling money to the French Resistance. But when she takes a pair of valuable bracelets from a high-ranking Nazi officer, she finds herself - and her two young daughters - in the line of fire from the Germans, with devastating consequences.

Boston, 2018: Colette Martinet, now in her eighties, has lived for decades with the trauma faced by her family after that fateful night that the Nazis came to arrest her mother for stealing the two precious bracelets. She too has spent a lifetime as a jewel thief, determined to find the lost bracelet from that night. When it finally surfaces as part of an exhibit at the Boston Diamond Museum, she hopes she can finally find some answers - and justice - for what happened to her family.

*Published under the title The Stolen Life of Colette Marceau in the US*
