Sisters of the Midnight Sun

I’m delighted to let you know that my latest novel – Sisters of the Midnight Sun – is out now.

Here’s what early reviewers are saying…

“Fiona Valpy’s most vivid, bold and heartbreaking novel yet!” Abbeigh, Goodreads

“An unforgettable novel, both heartbreaking and life-affirming, with an epic historical sweep and a deeply human lens focused on two sisters you root for all the way. Their story lingers long after the last page.”
Eve Chase, author of The Secret Thread, The Midnight Hour, and The Bird Cage

“Atmospheric and intriguing—a deftly woven tale of grief, sisterhood and hope.”
Lucy Diamond, author of I Remember Paris

“One of the pleasures of Fiona Valpy’s work is getting to know her characters, among them many strong, engaging women. Sisters of the Midnight Sun takes us with them to extraordinary places, while reminding us of the twinned importance of courage and delight.”
Elizabeth Kostova, author of The Historian, The Shadow Land, and Mystery Play

“An elderly woman bonds with a young woman hired as her companion and shares stories of WWII in this immersive novel from Valpy. Valpy’s vivid depictions of the resistance in Nazi-occupied Norway highlight the nation’s wartime sacrifice . . . and she shades her main characters with a great deal of depth. Fans of WWII fiction will have a tough time putting this one down.”
Publishers Weekly
