The Hidden Palace is the second book in Dinah Jefferies’ Daughters of War series — a sweeping, atmospheric historical novel set between 1920s Paris and war-torn Malta. In 1925, Rosalie Delacroix escapes Paris for a life as a dancer in the bohemian clubs of Malta, while in 1944, her sister Florence Baudin, fleeing Nazi-occupied France, is tasked with a desperate mission: to find her long-lost sibling. As war rages, old betrayals and family secrets resurface, threatening to tear them apart.
Dinah Jefferies masterfully blends romance, intrigue, and historical drama in a novel praised for its vivid sense of place, emotional depth, and compelling characters. A richly layered story of family, sacrifice, and hope set against the backdrop of a world at war.
