About this listen

'beautifully written ... a perfect book' Rachel Sweasey

One night, everything changed…

Air raid sirens wail across London and nineteen-year-old Clare takes her chances in the streets rather than heading to the office basement – and risk being in the same vicinity as him, the man who hurt her in the worst way possible…

… and makes a decision that will haunt her for the rest of her life.

Over a year later, and Clare is heartbroken to be saying goodbye to her newborn daughter Mirren. Leaving her in the care of her sister, in a remote – and therefore safe – house in The Highlands, she heads back south to become a map maker for Bomber Command.

The work is tough, and Clare struggles with having a direct hand in killing ordinary people. Combined with the guilt for leaving her baby behind, her dark thoughts could destroy her… or make her stronger than ever.

A heart-breaking tale of love, loss, and redemption, this is a moving and poignant story of motherhood and the complexities of healing in the aftermath of war.

Sorry to say but i was really hopeful that this would be worth listening to. I've persevered for 4.5 hours but it's a real chore to wade through that I've had to stop. It's not very exciting, slow to develop and nothing to grip you. Narrator is good though.

Slow, tedious and boring
