Produktbeschreibung
In the muddy trenches of post-war France, Captain Harry Blakeney discovers a dead soldier clutching a love letter tucked inside a tin of York-made chocolates. His quest to find the mystery woman behind these haunting words leads him to Rowntree's chocolate factory-and straight into the carefully ordered world of Alexandra Frobisher. In York, a city famous for its chocolate, Alexandra Frobisher dreams of forging her own path in the family-run confectionery business. But in a world where a woman's worth is measured by her marriage prospects, Alex faces mounting pressure to choose between several eligible suitors-none of whom stir her heart. When the charming and well-connected Matthew Britten-Jones begins to court her, Alex sees a chance for both security and status, even if love remains elusive. But Harry's arrival threatens to unravel everything Alex and Matthew have planned. As three lives intertwine, long-buried secrets surface that could destroy them all. In a story as bittersweet as the finest chocolate, they must each decide what price they're willing to pay for love-and whether some gifts are too precious to ignore. From the million-copy bestselling author, The Chocolate Tin weaves together the medieval splendour of York, the gritty aftermath of war, and the rich heritage of Britain's chocolate-making tradition in a compelling tale of love, ambition and the choices that define us. Perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah and Rhys Bowen.
Autorenporträt
Fiona McIntosh is one of Australia's favourite storytellers. She began her career in speculative-fiction and after worldwide success with 16 novels, moved into lush, historical fiction where she regularly hits the National Top 10 with each new blockbuster released into the most congested and competitive sales season of Christmas. She also writes crime and her Det. Jack Hawksworth series 'Hawk' has been optioned for TV while three of her historical novels have been optioned for film. Her children's picture book will be published in 2025, entitled Harry and Gran Bake a Cake. She hosts one of the country's most successful masterclasses that is highly regarded by the publishing industry, with an enviable strike rate, responsible for some of the newest popular authors in Australia. Her Masterclass debuted in the UK during the northern summer with a dozen writers from ANZ, UK and Europe. Married with adult twin sons, she divides her time between the UK and a farmhouse on the rim of the Clare Valley vineyards of South Australia where she follows her passion for baking, fine coffee (one day she'll roast her own beans) and for acquiring winter boots in the sunniest pace on earth. She's a self-confessed chocaholic.
