Blind Date with a Book #1

Last week, Ebru from Ebs And Her Reads started a new weekly tradition: Blind Date With a Book Thursday. Even though I didn’t guess the identity of the book she was describing – my fault for not having read enough novels set during World War II – it was a lot of fun and I thought… why not?

So here’s my first Blind Date With a Book Thursday post!

The rules are simple:

You choose a book --> You write a few clues that will help people identify it --> You ask people to guess the title of the book, including the bloggers that have inspired you to join --> You later reveal the identity of the book

Ready? Here we go…

• I was published in 2015
• I was written by a female British writer
• I am set in England and Ireland but the States make a brief appearance too
• I have a dual narrative – I’m set partly just before England declares war on Germany in 1939 and partly in the 1970s
• I am about love – mostly. Some people put me in the ‘historical romance’ box
• Domestic violence is one of my themes
• Among my pages you find mean nuns in a convent, a little like in the film Philomena

Any guesses? Leave your answers in the comments below and come back after 4pm to find out if you were right.
