Guided by crisp, school-era handwriting and dated entries, she confronts a fragile past and the warning of acting with utmost discretion for fear of unwanted attention. As she reads, present curiosity turns into a renewed emotional ache, drawing her back to the truth about David and the painful discovery that reshaped her understanding.","THE SHUT-AWAY SISTERS  \nA GRIPPING AND UTTERLY HEARTBREAKING HISTORICAL NOVEL  \nSUZANNE GOLDRING  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nBOOKS BY SUZANNE GOLDRING  \nThe Shut-Away Sisters  \nThe Girl Without a Name  \nBurning Island  \nMy Name is Eva  \nAvailable in Audio  \nThe Girl Without a Name (Available in the UK and the US) Burning Island (Available in the UK and the US) My Name is Eva (Available in the UK and the US)  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCONTENTS  \nChapter 1  \nHold Your Hand Out, Naughty Boy  \nChapter 2  \nChapter 3  \nChapter 4  \nSister Susie’s Sewing Shirts for Soldiers  \nChapter 5  \nChapter 6  \nChapter 7  \nChapter 8  \nChapter 9  \nChapter 10  \nYour King and Country Want You  \nChapter 11  \nChapter 12  \nChapter 13  \nChapter 14  \nChapter 15  \nChapter 16  \nEssex Schoolchildren’s Rhyme  \nChapter 17  \nChapter 18  \nChapter 19  \nChapter 20  \nChapter 21  \nChapter 22  \nChapter 23  \nChapter 24  \nWhen This Bloody War is Over  \nChapter 25  \nChapter 26  \nChapter 27  \nChapter 28  \nChapter 29  \nChapter 30  \nChapter 31  \nChapter 32  \nChapter 33  \nChapter 34  \nThe Boy I Love is Up in the Gallery Chapter 35  \nChapter 36  \nChapter 37  \nChapter 38  \nChapter 39  \nChapter 40  \nChapter 41  \nChapter 42  \nChapter 43  \nHello!
