About this listen

A beautiful, heartbreaking story of sacrifice and love in the face of evil.

'The story started at dawn on the 14th of September, 1943....'

All her life, London-born Angelika has been intrigued by her mother's secret past. Now planning her wedding, she feels she must visit the remote Crete village her mother grew up in.

Angie's estranged elderly grandmother, Maria, is dying. She welcomes Angie with open arms - it's time to unburden herself and tell the story she'll otherwise take to her grave. It's the story of the Nazi occupation of Crete during the Second World War, of horror, of courage and of the lengths to which a mother will go to protect her children. And it's the story of bitter secrets that broke a family apart and of three enchanting women who come together to heal wounds that have damaged two generations.

This is the third book I have read by the author. I have enjoyed every one of them. Great descriptions, lovely stories of family. Also it has educated me in the Greek history. I have gone on to discover what happened during the war and following years. I look forward to reading more of her books.

A great book

Almost returned the book because I didn't immediately warm to the narrator. However, got used to it and I loved the book! Fantastic double story between present day and the 1940s and couldn't wait to hear more and see how the story unravelled. Poignant the fact it's based on real life events through the war, but that for me makes it even more addictive. Would definitely recommend.

Really Enjoyable!

Totally could not put this down. Great storyline and a modern-historical eye-opener Harrowing in places but a true reflection of the political situation in Greece 🇬🇷. Good characters, very well written and a great narrator to boot
