The Paris Peacemakers

1919, Paris. As the guns fall silent, The Paris Peacemakers follows those attempting to start afresh while the fabric of Europe is stitched together for good or ill. Stella Rutherford, desperate to staunch her grief, has thrown herself into her work at the International Peace Conference, while the crucial negotiations play out. Her sister Corran is also headed to France where the wounds of war are still fresh for many, including her fiancé Rob Campbell. Rob, one of the few surviving members of a celebrated Scottish rugby team, has been profoundly marked by his time as a surgeon on the front line. What comes next for each of them?

Flora Johnston worked for over twenty years in museums and heritage interpretation, including at the National Museums of Scotland, which has greatly influenced the historical fiction she now writes. The Paris Peacemakers delved into the lives of characters picking up the pieces in the aftermath of the First World War, and their stories continue in The Endeavour of Elsie Mackay. She lives in Edinburgh.
