Inhaltsangabe

 Nelly Spencer, an English woman working for an animal welfare organisation in France, is sent to investigate an isolated farm in the northern region of Normandy. What she discovers, however, is something that will change her life forever: a dusty Allied Army jeep left from the D-Day invasion. When Louise, an elderly farm lady, recounts the story of the jeep, and the romance between an injured Canadian soldier and his French nurse, escaped from Nazi persecution in Paris, Nelly is drawn into the sombre memory of war-torn France, and the uncertainty surrounding her own childhood.   ‘That Summer in Normandy’ is a poignant journey across time woven against a background of wartime heroism. From the stricken Landing Beaches to ebullient D-Day celebrations, the reader follows Nelly in her quest of identity through three interweaving stories of love and betrayal soaked in evocative details of life in rural France. Will old Louise's revelations provide Nelly with the answers she’s looking for?

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Rosemary Rudland was born and educated in England. She also studied French at the University of Grenoble and later settled in the south east of France where she became an investigative journalist writing in both French and English for international newspapers and magazines. Her passion for in-depth enquiries might be inherited from her grandfather, a former Director General of British Security Service. She was co-founder of several newspaper publications in the Rhône-Alpes region, and winner of a national award for a best social case study. Rosemary lives in Normandy with her husband Yvan Barbieri, a former photojournalist, surrounded by a motley crew of four-footed companions. The couple are authors of three non-fiction books, and are investigators for animal protection - Rosemary is an enquirer for the Brigitte Bardot Foundation.
