دانلود کتاب The Distant Daughter 2025

The Distant Daughter (2025) by Lorna Cook unfolds across two timelines, weaving together the past in Singapore during WWII and the present in Cornwall. In 1941, Issey lives a glamorous life in Singapore, dancing and socializing, unaware that war is about to upend everything; Alex Cartwright promises to protect her and help her escape when the Japanese invasion threatens. In 2025, Lamorna returns from Singapore to her family’s crumbling Cornish home, Trelenna, heartbroken and seeking refuge.

Through a discovery of an old leather diary of Issey, Lamorna becomes drawn into the past—into Issey’s perilous flight, her love, her sacrifices. As Lamorna reads, she finds parallels with her own life and wonders if the love between Issey and Alex survived the war. The Distant Daughter by Lorna Cook is a story of enduring love, sisterhood, family secrets, strength, and sacrifice, and shows how uncovering one woman’s past can inspire healing and new beginnings¹.
