About this listen

Read by Miranda Raison (Lessons in Chemistry)

Unlocking the past is the key to the future . . .

From Lucinda Riley, the international bestselling author of The Seven Sisters series, The Light Behind the Window is a breathtaking historical romance about love, war and, above all, forgiveness.


South of France, present day.

After the death of her glamorous, distant mother, Emilie de la Martiniéres finds herself alone in the world – and sole inheritor of her grand childhood home. A notebook of poems leads her to search for the mysterious and beautiful Sophia, whose tragic love affair changed the course of her family history. As Emilie unravels Sophia's story, she embarks on a journey of discovery, realizing that the château may provide clues to her own difficult past.

Paris, 1943.

Constance Carruthers, a young office clerk for M15, is drafted into a special operations team, arriving in occupied Paris during the climax of the conflict. Separated from her contact in France, she stumbles into the heart of a wealthy family who are caught up in a deadly game of secrets and lies. Forced to surrender her identity and all ties to her homeland, Constance is drawn into a complex web of deception, the repercussions of which will affect generations to come . . .

Wonderful listen

As always Lucinda Riley story telling is incredible. You live the characters and the story she tells is always an emotional journey. I have learnt so much from books and have always been enriched by them in my own life. At some point I will always listen them again . So sad there no more .
We have lost a great writer and story teller. RIP Lucinda Riley

Another brilliant Lucinda Riley story

Each time I have a new narrator, I mourn the last one … but then you get into it!

Another super story - such a shame that we lost Lucinda this year.

Thoroughly enjoyed this easy read. I guessed a few outcomes (wrongly!). Very pleased about that!

Enjoy!

I’m tempted to re-read it immediately!

Loved the story, even though some of the characters were easy to see through. Wonderful narrator. I’m going to look for another book by Lucinda Riley right now.

Another beautiful story

I adore Lucinda’s books. Each time I finish one , I think I should move on to another author but she has yet to disappoint. I really enjoyed The light behind the window and would have no hesitation in recommending it.

Full of mystery, great storyline. Loved it!

A gripping storyline moving back and forth between World War 2 and the 70's, it evoked a range of emotions, I couldn't stop listening. My first Lucinda Riley audiobook and it won't be the last. I hope the others are as good as this one, I was sad when it ended.
