Customer Reviews
A very enjoyable listen
4.25⭐️
I had the 🎧audiobook version. I like the accent of the narrator, with good distinct voices for the characters. The narrator added emotion and interest. It’s easy listening.
One fateful night in 1941 Germany drops bombs on neutral Dublin. Sarah Gillespie’s life is forever changed as she loses all her family and her home.
Sarah moved to England becoming involved in espionage.
The dialogue gave a feeling of the era. It’s interesting how language changes over the years.
The pace is relatively slow, the narrative gives a good feel of the war, the struggles and personal sacrifices made by individuals. It’s an age where people were patriotic, compliant and willing to play their part to secure the safety of the Country.
I thoroughly enjoyed Sarah’s experiences dipping her toe into the world of espionage. Some good twists and turns, plenty going on. It held my attention well throughout.
A book which I would recommend if you like war time drama.
