The Tenth Gift

The Tenth Gift

The Tenth Gift

14th April 2015 by Jane Johnson

 ‘An epic story … beautifully written, first-class escapism’ Mail on Sunday

His parting gift to her was a new beginning…

Julia Lovat walks away from her seven-year affair with Michael with a broken heart and a book of secrets. Her book tells the true story of Catherine Tregenna, kidnapped by Barbary pirates off the Cornish coast and sold into slavery in Morocco four hundred years ago.

When Julia travels to Morocco to discover Cat’s fate she is quickly lost in an exotic and vibrant land. Yet her guide is Idriss, a man so charismatic and beguiling that their meeting feels like destiny. And so, in the heat and dust, two love stories, separated by four centuries, entwine and blossom.

THE TENTH GIFT is an enthralling story of secrets and discovering love where you least expect it.

‘Wildly yet convincingly romantic … a sensitive portrait of Muslim culture and a delectable adventure of the heart’ – USA Today
