Anne Louvet needs to escape from Paris and from memories she cannot face. In the year 1936 she arrives at the faded Hotel du Lion d'Or on the Brittany coast, to work as a maid. There she meets Hartmann, a man she believes will change her life and save her from her past.

From the author of Birdsong, comes a deeply moving story of love and conscience, will and desire.

Praise for Girl At The Lion d'Or

A survival story with great atmosphere… Endlessly fascinating

TOM CONTI

[A] story of restrained emotions played out in a period setting among picturesque locations . . . Faulks gives every sign of being a real novelist, who thinks and feels through the written word
