Disappointing
The story started well and I found the subject intriguing. The narration was good. Unfortunately, for me the last quarter of the story seemed to lose momentum and the conclusion rushed and implausible.

Very moving story
I wasn’t sure about this book at the beginning but I was soon enthralled by it and couldn’t stop listening to it. Beautifully written and narrated the subject something I hadn’t touched on before. I was in tears on several occasions and the poem used was simply beautiful. I’ll definitely be recommending to my friends.

Disappointing from a usually great author
I loved Florence and the Dash family characters and wish that the whole story had just been about them and the war years. Then it would have been a good story! The reincarnation storyline was trite, boring and predictable and the Max, Elizabeth (what a caricature!) and Robyn story was much weaker. I usually love Santa Montefiore’s books but this wasn’t as good as usual. The female narrator was good, but the male one overdid it a bit. Shame, as Florence and Rupert had the potential to be the central characters in a really good story!

Absolutely Beautiful Story
I’ve really enjoyed this book, historical, spiritual, love ….. it’s all included and written so beautifully. The narrators are excellent, multiple voices and totally bring each character to life spanning decades, so an eclectic mix of age groups. A book within a book! Was sad when it ended, I could have listened for hours more. Five stars from me.

Truly Lovely
This is a simply beautiful story by one of my favourite authors. It is very well written and the two narrators have done a very good job too. So very well worth downloading and listening to a story which is based on the true experiences of one of the author’s friends. I would really love for Santa Montefiore to write a sequel to this book.
