A heartbreaking choice. A promise that cost her everything⦠German-occupied territory, 1945. Tearing open the envelope, Katja studies every line and letter on the map. She wills herself to memorise it, copying every detail onto scraps of paper in the flickering candlelight. Sheâd nearly been caught delivering the letters by the SS that afternoon. Picturing Karlâs handsome face, her chest tightens. Theyâre in this together. But if sheâs caught, what will happen to the baby? London, present day. Jo is at a crossroads in her own life in her cosy bungalow on the edge of beautiful Hampstead Heath. Clearing out her mother, Katjaâs, empty home, Joâs world is turned upside down when she discovers a small, dog-eared diary stuffed into the back of a tiny kitchen cupboard. And tucked within its pages is a ripped, yellowed envelope with an unfamiliar, faded postmark. As she scans the scrawled handwriting, Jo can scarcely believe her eyes⦠What really happened to that tiny baby all those years ago? And will this long-lost diary finally give Jo the answers to everything sheâs been searching for? Based on an incredible true story, The Lost Diary is a gripping and unforgettable tale about forbidden love and family secrets in World War Two.
