The Memory of Loss

The Memory of Loss
Reeling from a devastating tragedy she believes she has caused, nineteen-year-old Nadine Hall has lived an illusion rather than face a brutal reality. Eager to make a fresh start, she lands a dream job as a carer for an archaeologist near Cannes – the perfect location for the movie buff that she is – shortly before the film festival is due to be held. The blissful existence she finds among her charge, Lilly Somerville, Lilly’s sister Viv who suffers from dementia, and Agnes the housekeeper is soon shattered with the arrival of Lilly’s only daughter, Katrina, who wants Nadine gone. As the implications of losing her job and being sent home are greater than anyone can imagine, Nadine will do anything to outsmart Katrina and win her charge’s favor. When she happens upon Lilly’s account of her life in German-occupied Paris, she banks on using it to her advantage. However, her audacious scheme backfires with grave consequences. $0.99 on Kindle.
