Book Summary –

Serena Stone, a 30‑year‑old American war photographer, has made her name covering conflict zones like her famed father. But when he dies unexpectedly, she returns home to New York to write his biography. Her path converges with Zachary North, her former lover who has returned from Afghanistan in deep physical and psychological distress. Charged with caring for Zac in Venice, Serena reconnects with him—and together they explore her father’s vast photographic archives. Among the images is a never-before-seen collection that upends Serena’s understanding of her family. The trail of these secrets leads her across the globe—from the hills above Nice to the canals of Venice, and finally into the unrest of Libya—to uncover truths about her parents' past, love, betrayal, and her own identity. The novel blends romance, investigation, and emotional reckoning in a sweeping, globe-trotting narrative.

About the Author –

Barbara Taylor Bradford (10 May 1933 – 24 November 2024) was a British‑American novelist who began her literary journey as a journalist before releasing her debut novel A Woman of Substance in 1979. That breakout work sold over thirty million copies and stayed on bestseller lists for almost a year, launching a successful career that resulted in more than forty novels. Known for crafting emotionally rich sagas centered on strong, determined women overcoming adversity, her books were published in over forty languages and sold more than 90 million copies worldwide. Barbara received an OBE in 2007 for her contributions to literature and was widely respected for her storytelling ambition, disciplined writing routine, and genuine warmth.

Together, Secrets from the Past showcases Bradford’s signature blend of international romance, emotional intrigue, and resilient heroines—while her own remarkable life mirrors that ambition and heartfelt storytelling. Her passing in November 2024 marked the end of a prolific era in popular fiction
