   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.   )1   tamaranth | Apr 6, 2017 |   ) pennykaplan | Oct 24, 2015 | Finding Philippe is not part of the series; with Loosing Larry they are the books she wrote after the Mountjoy Series. I really wished I had loved this book but sadly I was quite disappoionted. I don't think the characters were described well enough, the plot got very confusing, at least for me and I found that although I liked the characters I wasn't really rooting for them. I didn't care enough. At times the writing seems to skip too quickly and it made it a bit disjointed. Vicky heads to France to discover what happened to her French wartime lover Philippe and to escape from her overbearing father and a family she doesn't get on with. Julius, a reluctant lawyer is sent by Vicky's father to find her and together they try and unravel the mystery of Philippe's disappearance. Julius, a lawyer also escaping from bleak England in the late 1940's becomes embroiled in the story. Now, there are still some nice passages, but it is a bit predicatble in parts and confusing in others parts. I really wish Elizabeth Pewsey would write more as I am in general a very big fan.

In the late 1940s, Vicky Hampden leaves the gloom of post-war London and goes to France to look for her wartime lover, Philippe d'Icère. Unsure if he's dead or alive, she's determined either to find him or to find out how and why he died. But stirring up the ghosts of war isn't always safe, and Vicky's powerful and sinister father sends a young lawyer, Julius Drummond, to find Vicky and make her return to England. However, Julius has his own reasons for being interested in the fate of Philippe d'Icère, and instead of persuading her to go home, he encourages Vicky in her search. Their inquiries lead them to the south of France, where memories of the Resistance and of collaborators are still fresh, and it is there that Vicky discovers not only how many people had reason to want Philippe dead, but just how far they are now prepared to go to prevent the truth being revealed.
