Map of the Heart is a Book Club Pick We Can’t Put Down

What if everything you thought you knew about your family turned out to be false? What if you had the chance to travel to France to discover the truth? You and your book club will ask these questions and more while reading #1 New York Times bestselling Susan Wiggs’s new novel, Map of the Heart.

Widowed by an unspeakable tragedy, Camille Palmer has made her peace with the past and settled into the quiet safety of life with her teenage daughter, Julie, in a sleepy coastal town. Then, the arrival of a mysterious package breaks open the door to her family’s secret past. In uncovering a hidden history, Camille has no idea that she’s embarking on an adventure that will utterly transform her.

Camille, Julie, and Camille’s father return to the French town of his youth, sparking unexpected memories — recollections that will lead them back to the dark days of the Second World War. And it is in the stunning Provençal countryside that they will uncover their family’s surprising history.

While Provence offers answers about the past, it also holds the key to Camille’s future. Along the way, she meets a former naval officer who stirs a passion deep within her — a feeling that she thought she’d never experience again.

With a deeply emotional and atmospheric story that spans oceans and decades, from the present-day Delaware shore to the battlefields of WWII France, Map of the Heart is a beautiful and heartfelt novel that celebrates the bonds of family and pays homage to the sacrifices of the past.
