An Island at War – Cover Reveal

Two sisters honour a decision their father makes that will separate them for the first time in their lives and force them to survive the Second World War without the other’s support.

I’ve just realised that I haven’t shared the cover reveal for my next book, An Island at War, due to be published in e-book and paperback format on June 10th, so here’s what my publisher HarperCollins Publishers, One More Chapter had to say about it.

COVER REVEAL – #AnIslandatWar is a moving historical novel about the German occupation of the Channel Islands from Deborah Carr, the bestselling author of The Poppy Field

While her little sister Rose is sent to the UK to keep her safe from the invading German army, Estelle is left behind on Jersey to help her grandmother run the family farm. When the Germans occupy the island, everything changes and Estelle and the islanders must face the reality of life under Nazi rule. Interspersed with letters from Rose back in London, the novel is also inspired by the real life stories from the author’s own family who were on the island during the occupation and is a true testament to the courage and bravery of the islanders.

My great-grandmother lived in Jersey through the Occupation and my father, his brother, cousin and mother left the island just before the island was invaded and spent the war in London living through the Blitz with my father being evacuated from there to the country.
