London, 1941
When Mary meets a glamorous stranger named Elizabeth, she realises their lives couldn’t be more different.
Elizabeth is beautiful and charming, about to set off on a dazzling adventure to Ireland where she’s inherited
her godmother’s house. Mary, shy and meek, with a troubled childhood behind her, has nothing to look
forward to but the dreary life of a maid in Hampstead.
But when an air raid forces them to take shelter underground Mary’s life is suddenly changed forever. After
waking up in hospital, injured but alive, the nurse mistakes her for Elizabeth and hands over her suitcase
with Elizabeth’s money and tickets to Ireland inside.
This is Mary’s chance to escape the hardship of her life and start afresh with a new identity. Will she take it
and if she does, what does the future hold?
Set between London, Ireland and Bristol, The Girl with the Suitcase is an unputdownable, page-turner of a
historical novel from the nation’s favourite storyteller.
