Set against the stunning backdrop of Chartwell, Winston Churchill’s country home, and reverberating through three generations comes a tragic story of misguided honour, thwarted love and redemption.
Three Friends
Two Secrets
One Hidden Life
Growing up around Churchill’s estate, Frank, Florence and Hilda are inseparable, but as WW2 casts its menacing shadow their friendships become more complex and strained. Following Frank’s death in 2002, Florence writes to his grandson, Richard, hinting at a dark past.
On investigation, disturbing secrets come to light that have not only haunted his grandfather’s life but will now impact on Richard’s too. When a pivotal encounter between Frank and Churchill is revealed and a mystery relative in a psychiatric hospital discovered, just how much more does Florence dare disclose, and is Richard ready to hear?

About the Author
JA Corrigan writes historical fiction as Jules Hayes. Her books and short stories have consistently received excellent reviews.
Jules’ debut historical novel, The Walls We Build, is a sweeping generational dual timeline mystery, set in the period between 1928 and 2004. The story boldly draws on the figure of Winston Churchill, who takes a small but important cameo role in this labyrinthine story of three childhood friends.
She lives in Berkshire, UK.

Its the first I am hearing about this author. Thanks for the recommendation.
I’m intrigued and loving the sound of this one.
This will make for a fun read. Will definitely have to look it up once the situation becomes better.
Thanks for sharing! This sounds so good.
Looks like this might be good. Thanks for sharing.
I am a sucker for dual time narratives and having ordered The Splendid and the Vile by Erik Larson about Churchill’s efforts during the Blitz I would be really interested to read Jules book alongside given that is set much earlier and Churchill was a younger man.
Seems like an interesting book.
time for dual time narratives, looks like.. I read one too recently and that is my most recent post.. 🙂
love the cover and the story intrigues
