Isobel's Story

SynopsisIn the final part of the Swallowcliffe Hall trilogy, Isobel comes to the shell of this once-beautiful house with her gas mask in 1939, to stay with her grandmother Polly. Talk of war is on everyone's lips and it's an anxious time - especially for Andreas, a boy who has escaped from Germany on the Kindertransporte: the evacuation of thousands of Jewish children to safety in Britain. Can Izzie help his family find sanctuary at the Hall too? She is determined to try, although the house has fallen on hard times and its very existence is threatened. In the process, she uncovers a family secret that has remained hidden for years, and discovers courage in the face of danger and prejudice she never knew she had.
