About this listen

France, 1943

As war casts its shadow over Europe, the tranquil life of Sister Angelica's convent is disrupted by the arrival of Nazi forces. Inside the convent, the nuns offer refuge to children in need of care and protection. Despite the ever-present risks, Angelica is determined to honour her promise to keep them safe. Each day is a testament to courage and hope, even when unexpected challenges arise.

London, 1963

Angelica has made a new life for herself in East London’s Stepney. Despite the shadows of war, she is nurturing a family of her own with hope and resilience, ready to embrace the future with open arms. Yet, as life often reminds us, the past has a way of weaving itself back into our present when we least expect it . . .

Wood is a born storyteller
A cosy fireside read (Westmeath Examiner, on The Guernsey Girls)
I always love a Mary Wood book
If you haven’t read anything by Mary yet then I highly recommend you do! (Joanna Park, JoJo's Over the Rainbow Book Blog, on The Guernsey Girls Go to War)
