Discover another moving novel of courage and conviction from the bestselling author of 'At the Foot of the Cherry Tree'.
Emmy Darling has a secret - her name is actually Emiko Tanaka. When charismatic theatre impresario, Virginia van Belle, insists Emily write about her wartime experiences of being held in Australia's internment camps after the bombing of Pearl Harbour, Emmy is faced with every writer's dilemma: tell the story or tell the truth.
From barbed-wire fences to the lush velvet seats of the Belleview Theatre, Until the Red Leaves Fall is a stunning tale of secrets and betrayal in the aftermath of war that asks: what happens when you let the truth get in the way of a good story?
