The Secret Guests by Benjamin Black

WWII is raging in London and fearing for the safety of their young daughters, the Royal family is separated and Elizabeth and Margaret are sent to a safe remote manor in Ireland. They are tucked away using false names and under strict security yet the chance that their identity is known could alert the Germans putting them in great danger. Even though they are homesick, the girls deal with their circumstances with their usual calm detached manner but the Duke of Edenmore, the girl's secret service detail (posing as a chaperone)and the Irish agent sent to keep them safe all feel anything but calm. Surely it would be simple enough to hide two little girls in the wilds of Ireland? While everyone feels the biggest threat comes from the Germans, it may be that certain groups in Ireland are not happy with the secret guests. Politics, a long-standing feud, a country divided and one miserable war feed into this account of what may have happened to the British princesses. For any WWII historical fiction fan and those who enjoy secret acts of heroism.
