ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Secrets of a Charmed Life" by Susan Meissner tells the story of Emmy Downtree, a young woman in London during World War II, who is separated from her younger sister, Julia, during the Blitz. Emmy assumes a new identity as Isabel Crofton to navigate the war-torn city and search for Julia. Her journey involves a complex web of relationships, including her mother, a woman who once worked for her father, her foster mother Charlotte, and Mac, an American journalist.

The narrative explores themes of identity, loss, and the enduring power of sisterhood, as well as the complexities of mother-daughter relationships. The novel also delves into the impact of war on ordinary lives and how individuals cope with trauma and loss. As the story progresses, Emmy grapples with her assumed identity and the secrets that surround her family. Her search for Julia and her desire to find her own identity intertwine to create an emotional and compelling journey. The inclusion of Julia’s journal adds depth to the narrative, revealing her own perspective and connection with Emmy.
