Excerpt ~ The Enemy’s Wife by Deborah Swift

Today I’m delighted to be sharing an excerpt from Deborah Swift’s newly released novel, The Enemy’s Wife, as part of a blog tour hosted by The Coffee Pot Book Club. The Enemy’s Wife is set in Japanese-occupied Shanghai during World War 2.

Blurb

‘A fast-paced, beautifully written, and moving story. Refreshing to read a book set in a different theatre of war. Wartime Shanghai jumped off the page.’ ~
