“The Lavender Keeper”

CLIENT: Fan Art Redesign for Fiona McIntosh’s “The Lavender Keeper”

DESCRIPTION: For the book, “The Lavender Keeper” I chose to focus on the beautiful lavender field, which the main character is forced to leave as he flees to escape Nazi soldiers to join the French Resistance to seek revenge.

ORIGINAL BOOK SUMMARY:

McIntosh, Fiona. The Lavender Keeper. Allison & Busby, 2013.

“Provence, 1942 Luc Bonet, brought up by a wealthy Jewish family in the foothills of the French Alps, finds his life shattered by the brutality of Nazi soldiers. Leaving his abandoned lavender fields behind, Luc joins the French Resistance in a quest for revenge.

Paris, 1943 Lisette Forestier is on a mission: to work her way into the heart of a senior German officer, and to infiltrate the very masterminds of the Gestapo. But can she balance the line between love and lies?

The one thing Luc and Lisette hadn't counted on was meeting each other. Who, if anyone, can be trusted - and will their own emotions become the greatest betrayers of all?”
