Summary
Loyalty and betrayal, hope and despair, One Moonlit Night tells the captivating story of a husband and wife separated by secrets as well as by war.
Accept it, he is dead.
No, it’s not true.
It is. Everyone thinks so except you.
Forced to leave their family home in London after it is bombed, Maddie and her two young daughters take refuge at Knyghton, the beautiful country house in Norfolk where Maddie’s husband Philip spent the summers of his childhood.
But Philip is gone, believed to have been killed in action in northern France. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Maddie refuses to give up hope that she and Philip will some day be reunited.
Arriving at Knyghton, Maddie feels closer to her missing husband, but she soon realises that there’s a reason Philip has never spoken to her about his past. Something happened at Knyghton one summer years before. Something that involved Philip, his cousin Lyle and a mysterious young woman named Flora.
Maddie’s curiosity turns to desperation as she tries to discover the truth, but no one will speak about what happened all those years ago, and no one will reassure her that Philip will ever return to Knyghton.
The extraordinarily powerful new novel from bestselling author Rachel Hore.

Enjoyable
I enjoyed this book and Sandra Duncan
very good as always but I didn’t think it was Rachel Hores best. None of the characters really stood out except perhaps the Fleggs! A light read though for exercising or doing housework to!

Good storyline and well read
An interesting storyline that captured the mood of the war quite well. Felt quite disappointed with the end.

Good
Whilst this is a good story it did seem to drag a bit. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it, and there were a few twists and turns that kept me from giving up. Maybe I just prefer a slightly faster pace story.

A hugely engaging story, thoroughly worth a listen
initially I wasn't sure about the narration but fell under the narrator's spell as she bought the characters to life.. the character of Aunt Gussie was excellent and I could really imagine what she was like and the stoic Fleg and hardworking Mrs Fleg were also excellent.
Somewhat dodgy on the French accents but such an engaging story, full of intrigue and weaved around the war time sets of rural norfolk and Occupied France.
Well worth the listen and I shall be buying a few hardcopies for Xmas presents.

Enjoyable saga
A long story but entertaining. Enjoyed the narration although the voices of Grace and Sarah the children were a bit irritating. Would recommend
