'beautifully written ... a perfect book' Rachel Sweasey One night, everything changed…

Air raid sirens wail across London and nineteen-year-old Clare takes her chances in the streets rather than heading to the office basement – and risk being in the same vicinity as him, the man who hurt her in the worst way possible…

… and makes a decision that will haunt her for the rest of her life.

Over a year later, and Clare is heartbroken to be saying goodbye to her newborn daughter Mirren. Leaving her in the care of her sister, in a remote – and therefore safe – house in The Highlands, she heads back south to become a map maker for Bomber Command.

The work is tough, and Clare struggles with having a direct hand in killing ordinary people. Combined with the guilt for leaving her baby behind, her dark thoughts could destroy her… or make her stronger than ever.

A heart-breaking tale of love, loss, and redemption, this is a moving and poignant story of motherhood and the complexities of healing in the aftermath of war.

'From the first line, dripping with poignancy, The Map Maker's Promise had me hooked. Catherine Law's beautifully written tale of one woman's life, intense pain, and deep regret will stay with me for as long as the mist hovers over the Scottish Highlands. A perfect book.' Rachel Sweasey

'I was completely enthralled. I could not put this beautifully written book down and read it in one glorious sitting. Such wonderful writing. Such a compelling and haunting story. And the descriptions! The settings come alive and I absolutely lived every scene.' Renita D'Silva

'Beautifully written and intensely emotional, The Map Maker's Promise transports you to wartime London and the beauty of the Scottish Highlands. I now really want to live in the last house on the Lochan.' Victoria Scott
