Some twenty years later, stifled by her life in England, their daughter Madeleine sets off to learn the truth about her father’s death in the French Resistance – returning to the village she once called home. Under the heat of the Catalan sun, she soon finds herself confronting her past, facing the shocking secrets of war, and opening her heart to her own love story.
