Jan Baynham

The Secret Sister by Jan Baynham is a beautifully crafted different WWII story of love, secrets, and mystery based on little known details about Italian POWs. I truly love books that, though they do not physically transport you to the country/countries portrayed in the story, you feel as though you are actually there via the wonderful world building by the author. What a contrast between Wales and Sicily! I could not only visualize every aspect of both countries, but I could taste them and smell them too! Then this amazing author through in a forbidden love story, secrets, and a mystery to solve and I was a reader in heaven.

I immensely enjoyed reading this story and was totally engrossed from beginning to end. After reading this fantastic book I have put Jan Baynham on my TBR Author list. If you enjoy Historical Fiction with secrets, a mystery, and not just one love story but two, I highly recommend The Secret Sister by Jan Baynham.
