About this listen
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Promise from the bestselling author Lesley Pearse.
War threatens to take all she has loved and lived for. When Belle Reilly's husband Jimmy enlists and heads for the trenches of Northern France, she knows she cannot stand idly by awaiting his return. Volunteering to help the wounded, Belle is posted to France as a Red Cross ambulance driver. There, tragedy brings her face to face with Etienne, a man from her past who she'd never quite forgotten.
Torn between forbidden passion, loyalty and love, Belle is caught in an impossible situation. Will the brutality and carnage of war make the honorable path the hardest one to take? Or will fate intervene and finally lead her to lasting happiness?

Excellent
Although this book can be read independently it would be good to listen to Belle first as it adds to a very moving story.

Enjoyable!
Great to find out what happens to Belle after listening to the first in the trilogy. A little predictable at times but a nice feel good love story.

Can’t beat a Lesley book
So good. Best get book 1 though. I have listened to the first one again to remind me before starting second book. So much I could not remember about the first one. On to another if lesley’s audible. Think I have almost listen to them all.

Draining
Quite a good story, I do like the characters on the whole - but I have never known anyone to have such misfortune! As in the first book, Belle does really well, gets out of all manner of scrapes - them disaster happens - a bit over the top for me - I won't bother with anymore in the series

Excellent.
Just as good as the first one. Some brilliant and harrowing reports on the war. Very well written, I highly recommend this book although once again, not for the faint hearted but written in such a way as not to be shocking.

Great Book & Audio
What made the experience of listening to The Promise the most enjoyable?
The narrators use of different accents to portray different characters. And the story was a brilliant one.
What other book might you compare The Promise to, and why?
Obviously to Belle as this is part 2 of Belle's story. Next I will definitely be looking out for the audiobook version of part 3!
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I believe the story and narration flowed so well that it always held my interest. I did feel deep emotion at the descriptions of the horrible conditions which soldiers had to endure throughout WWI.

I love Lesley Pearse books
Any additional comments?
Set around ww1, this is historical romance at its best. All the characters in the book are well drawn and there are enough to keep it interesting. You can't help but love the heroine of the story. The narration is excellent.
