Fiona McIntosh - The Soldiers Daughter

We are excited to have Fiona in Tasmania to launch her latest new novel the Soldiers daughter.

Violet Nash has grown up in the shadows of her father Charlie’s shattered dreams. It’s been years since he walked away from the battlefields of France, a WW1 hero but his heart in tatters, only to see it broken all over again in the worst way possible.

In search of a new beginning, they set sail for Tasmania, Australia to fulfill his dream of setting up a whisky distillery. Violet shows a rare talent for the fine art of distilling and blending and plans to follow in his footsteps. But some secrets cannot be forgotten, and as the Second World War rages on, Charlie feels a pull once more to play his part and is lured back into action.

It comes as no surprise to Violet when Charlie’s footsteps lead him straight back to Champagne, where open arms, future hopes and past ghosts lie waiting. Charlie must prove his bravery in the ultimate act of courage, but it is Violet, the soldier’s daughter, who will fight to claim his lasting legacy.
