Synopsis

1918. Young, beautiful and impoverished, Katya arrives in Paris to begin a new life - leaving behind a terrible secret. She is swept up in the city's glamour - particularly the boutiques on the Champs-Élysées, with their glittering haute couture gowns. Dare Katya dream that she may someday wear - or even design - one of these dazzling creations? It feels like an impossible wish, until she meets businessman Harry Morten. Tall, handsome and well-connected, Harry could give Katya everything she wants...but at what price? And should she trust him with her secret when her very survival could be at stake?

About Natalie Meg Evans

Natalie Meg Evans has been an art student, actor, PR copywriter, book-keeper and bar tender but always wanted to write. A USA Today best-seller and RITA nominee, she is author of four published novels which follow the fortunes of strong-minded women during the 1930s and 40s. Fashion, manners and art are the glass through which her characters’ lives are viewed. Each novel is laced with passion, romance and desire. Mystery is never far away. An avid absorber of history – for her sixth birthday she got a toy Arthurian castle with plastic knights – Natalie views historical fiction as theatre for the imagination. Her novels delve behind the scenes of a prestige industry: high fashion, millinery, theatre, wine making. Rich arenas for love and conflict. Most at home in the English countryside, Natalie lives in rural Suffolk. She has one son.

I say return to form because for me I adored Natalie's first two books but......more

3,5 Stars This was a fast and interesting read. The story was interesting and i enjoyed reading it and it kept me up well into the night to finish it. Paris, Fashion and Post-war periods. I surely can't resist a book that has them all. And despite the over-dramatisation of some scenes, i found that i......more

I loved this book just as I have with all N M Evans ' books. They were such uncertain times, how stressful it must have been, who to trust?

Goodreads review by Alana on December 11, 2018

The Secret Vow is billed as an epic wartime romance but I would argue that it should also be labeled as a coming of age novel. We meet our protagonist, Katya, as her family prepares to flee Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution. After a harrowing scene that ends with her father murdered and sister a......more
