The Morning Gift

Escape into this modern classic historical romance, set on the eve of the World War II, from award-winner Eva Ibbotson. A marriage of convenience offers Ruth Berger her only chance of escape as Hitler marches into Austria. Her family is forced to flee, but a devastating misunderstanding leaves Ruth alone in Nazi-occupied Vienna. There is no hope of escape until a chance meeting with an old family friend, Quinton Somerville, offers her a lifeline. On arrival in London, Ruth and Quin find that dissolving their marriage is not as simple as they had thought, nor is keeping it secret. As war approaches, how will Ruth start a new life if she is not able to break away from the past? Escape into more classic romance with Eva Ibbotson's The Secret Countess, A Song For Summer, A Company of Swans, Magic Flutes, and Madensky Square.
