Survivor

A gripping and emotional story from the bestselling author of Stolen




Third in the top-five bestselling, enthralling Belle series

London, 1939

Eighteen-year-old Mari is defiant, strong-willed and selfish.

She has craved independence her entire life and now, with the world on the brink of war, Mari has finally escaped the sleepy fishing village of her childhood in New Zealand. After passionately falling for Morgan, the Cockney steward aboard ship on her voyage to England, she hastily dismisses him in favour of being taken out by handsome young pilots in the glamorous West End.

But, without warning, the Blitz blows her new life apart. Now Mari has the chance to make a difference but can she learn from her mistakes in time?

About the author

Her novels have sold over ten million copies worldwide. Lesley has three daughters and three grandchildren and lives in Bristol.

When she grew up she worked her way through a number of jobs, including nanny, bunny girl, dressmaker and full-time mother before, at the age of forty-nine, settling upon a career that would allow her gifts to blossom: she became a published writer.
