''Remarkable. A powerful, engrossing story of a journey into the heart of darkness and final escape from it'' Sunday Times

In September, 1944, the SS march into a remote Italian castle, arrest a mother and seize her two sons, aged just two and three. If Hitler has his way she will never see them again. For Fey Pirzio-Biroli is the daughter of Ulrich von Hassell, executed days before after the failed assassination of the Fuhrer. Mercilessly cast into the Nazi death machine, Fey must cling to the hope that one day she will escape and rescue her lost children . . .

''Extraordinary. A rich, deep, gripping read'' Guardian

''As thrilling as any novel. Bailey has an extraordinary talent for bringing history to life'' Kate Atkinson

Industry Reviews
To say that Catherine Bailey makes history come alive is such a cliche and yet it's so true, she is absolutely one of my favourite writers * Kate Atkinson *
Bailey has an extraordinary talent for bringing history to life and The Lost Boys is as thrilling as any novel * Daily Mail *
Extraordinary. A rich and deep portrait. . . a gripping read * Guardian *
Riveting, important, reads like a terrifying thriller. So harrowing there were moments I had to put the book down. Bailey has an extraordinary ability to penetrate right to the heart of a family and uncover painful stories * Daily Telegraph *
Bailey has a knack for bringing characters to life . . . Fascinating * Times *
A brilliant analysis of senseless cruelty, and an inspiring account of how hope can still triumph over all odds * Julian Fellowes *
