 <\/p>\n

The staff pick of the week is \u201cWhen We Were Brave\u201d by Suzanne Kelman.<\/p>\n

The face of the woman in the photograph was tilted upwards, as if enjoying the sunshine just for a moment, even as the wreckage of the bombed-out street lay behind her\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

1944, Cornwall:\u00a0Blinded by love, Vivienne Hamilton eloped to Paris with a Nazi prisoner-of-war, never to be seen again. A disgrace to her family, her name would not be mentioned by any of her relatives for over 75 years.<\/em><\/p>\n

Present day, London:\u00a0When Sophie discovers a photograph of her great aunt Vivi from World War Two, it throws her into a world of confusion. Because, as she learns about this secret relative, she quickly realizes that the photograph doesn\u2019t fit with her family\u2019s story. It shows Vivi leaving an address associated with a spy network in London \u2013 a place she had no reason to be \u2013 and it is dated right before she disappeared.<\/em><\/p>\n

Meanwhile Sophie\u2019s own life feels as blasted and bombed as the blitzed city in the photograph she\u2019s looking at. Her beautiful daughter \u2013 as full of joy and wild energy as Vivi had apparently once been \u2013 is gone; and Sophie\u2019s heart has been left broken into pieces.<\/em><\/p>\n

Retreating to the family home in rural Cornwall to seek solace from her pain and the feelings of guilt that she could have done more to protect her daughter, Sophie finds herself becoming obsessed with Vivi\u2019s life.<\/em><\/p>\n

But nothing can prepare Sophie for what she is about to uncover \u2013 the story of a woman who risked everything for the person she loved the most; and a secret family history that could be the key to Sophie\u2019s own future.<\/em><\/p>\n
