About this ebook
A STOLEN SISTER. A DAUGHTER DETERMINED TO UNCOVER THE TRUTH.
'I was gripped, moved and utterly in thrall to this deeply emotional and compelling tale' Kate Furnivall
'A moving and complex story, beautifully told' Isabel Wolff
Belle Hatton has embarked upon an exciting new life: a glamorous job as a nightclub singer in 1930s Burma. But she's haunted by a family mystery - a 25-year-old newspaper clipping found in her deceased parents' belongings about the disappearance of their baby daughter, Elvira.
Desperate to find out what happened to the sister she never knew she had, when Belle starts asking questions, she is confronted with unsettling rumours, outright threats and a handsome American journalist named Oliver.
Can she trust her growing feelings for Oliver? Is her sister really dead? And could there still be a chance Belle might find her?

I love all of Dinah's books. Her ability to describe the setting in so much detail that it feels that you yourself are there in person is always so wonderful. Living in Asia myself I enjoy her novels as all are set in an Asia country. This latest book was again lovely to read and I finished it in one day! I just couldn't put it down as with all of Dinah's books.
