The publisher on this edition

The Paris Peacemakers follows three Scots as they attempt to pick up the pieces of their lives while the fabric of post-war Europe is stitched together for good or ill. 1919, Paris. As the guns fall silent, The Paris Peacemakers follows those attempting to start afresh while the fabric of Europe is stitched together for good or ill. Stella Rutherford, desperate to staunch her grief, has thrown herself into her work at the International Peace Conference, while the crucial negotiations play out. Her sister Corran is also headed to France where the wounds of war are still fresh for many, including her fiancé Rob Campbell. Rob, one of the few surviving members of a celebrated Scottish rugby team, has been profoundly marked by his time as a surgeon on the front line. What comes next for each of them? Flora Johnston was inspired by the poignant story of the pre-WWI Scottish rugby team which was decimated in the trenches, as well as the letters written by her great-aunt who was a typist at the Paris Peace Conference. For fans of Sebastian Faulks, Helen Dunmore and Pat Barker.
