Among The Lemon Trees: This debut novel by journalist and author Nadia Marks — a regular contributor to well-known British publications such as the Guardian, the Mail on Sunday, and the Independent — tells the touching story of Anna, whose attempt to escape her marital troubles back home leads her on a journey of discovery about her family’s long-hidden past.

But, as Monique begins documenting the sordid tales of Evelyn’s climb to stardom and glamorous life in the spotlight, she discovers that the pair’s lives are more connected and intertwined than either ever could have imagined.
