The French Promise

1945. Luc and Lisette Ravens have somehow survived their time as a French resistance fighter and a British spy. Haunted by the horrors they have seen, instead of going home to Provence, they set sail for Australia, hoping to rebuild their lives planting lavender fields in a land that's full of promise. But the past cannot be evaded so simply. When a Swiss law student learns of a truth that connects his family with the Ravens, he finds himself holding the key to his own future, and to Luc's troubled past.

The French Promise is an exhilarating story of courage, passion and peril by a phenomenal storyteller.
