About this listen

Lily Valance wants to forget the war. She's determined to enjoy the world of the 1920s, with its music, singing, laughter and pleasure.

When she meets Captain Stephen Winters, a decorated hero back from the Front, she's drawn to his wealth and status. In Lily he sees his salvation – from the past, from the nightmare, from the guilt at surviving the Flanders plains where so many were lost. But it's a dream that cannot last. Lily has no intention of leaving her singing career.

The hidden tensions of the respectable facade of the Winters household come to a head. Stephen's nightmares merge ever closer with reality and the truth of what took place in the mud and darkness brings him and all who loves him to a terrible reckoning ...

Most relevant

I'll start with how much I loved this story, normally I only listen when commuting, but I was so keen to know what happened I found myself making excuses to listen more.
But be warned, some of the themes in the book aren't appropriate if you're likely to be overheard; there's some fairly graphic description of the war and of rape.
These were always relevant to the story, and not a glorification, but listen with care if you share spaces with others.
