Helen Yendall’s debut novel to HQ Digital

HQ Digital have signed A Wartime Secret and one other book from debut writer Helen Yendall.

Inspired by the true events of a bank that evacuated to the country, A Wartime Secret follows fish-out-of-water Maggie who moves with Rosman’s Bank from her home in the working-class East End of London to a grand stately home in the Cotswolds. But she must do her bit for the war effort, especially after seeing her mother, a German national, arrested and her younger sister Violet evacuated.

A Wartime Secret will be published in January 2022.

Deal secured when author and agent were at the Kate Nash Literary Agency
