The Heart of the Night

GENTLEMAN SEEKS refined and well-educated English lady 18-20 years as companion to his daughter. Must be prepared to travel.

In the spring of 1936 Kay Garland answers wealthy Russian émigré Konstantin Denisov’s advertisement and becomes the companion of Miranda Denisov.

As the two girls travel through the restless Europe of the late 1930s they become firm friends. When Miranda falls in love with a young Parisian, Olivier Roussel, Kay helps her keep the relationship secret from her father. But Konstantin learns of the affair, and Kay, thrown out of the household, is left stranded, penniless and alone, in Nazi Berlin. By chance she meets Tom Blacklock, who pays for her ticket home, and is destined to become one of her closest friends. As for Miranda, separated from both Kay and Olivier, she makes a decision that will, in the years to come, put her in the path of disaster.

The outbreak of war changes everything. Ahead lie separation, death and destruction, and, for both women, consuming passion and the fear of losing all that they hold most dear. After Hitler’s defeat, a changed world offers new dangers - and opportunities to find love where least expected.
