Summary
It’s January 1941, and the Blitz is devastating England. As America maintains its isolationist position, Churchill knows that Britain is doomed without its powerful ally.
Harry Hopkins, President Roosevelt’s most trusted adviser, is sent to London as his emissary and comes face to face with the prime minister himself and an attractive and determined young female driver who may not be what she seems.

Churchill, Roosevelt and isolationist USA drama.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
YES. Wonderful realistic fast flowing politics and romance. Vivid realistic content portrayed by top notch narrator.
What other book might you compare Sleep in Peace Tonight to, and why?
To me this book stands on its own without compare. It covers much varied subject matter from most elements of early 1940s life & politics. It is several books under one cover: all of them extremely enjoyable.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
There are so many incidents in so many places that it is difficult to choose one. I just enjoyed them all.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Somewhat sad in places: especially secret work in France and descriptions of blitz.
Any additional comments?
This is a well rounded story about a particular few important years in Anglo American history where personal lives are well melded with the big scene. Cannot recommend author / narrator too highly.

Well researched
Fantastic story, gripping to the end, full of less well known facts. Superbly enjoyable. Sensitively handled horrors of Second World War and beautifully read. Has made me hunger for more works by this author.

Out of my comfort zone!
Not my usual genre but throughly enjoyed this war time story of Roosevelt’s right hand man, Harry Hopkins and his time with Churchill. Narration was superb! Highly recommended.

The dark early days of WW2
Interesting story of an American diplomats' experience of liaising between London and Washington prior to USA joining the conflict. What takes this book to new heights is the incredible narration - to make the voices of Roosevelt and Churchill sound authentic is no mean feat. Highly recommended.

Great story of a momentous time in history
Really enjoyed the book. Face paced and very interesting. The ending was a little signposted but that’s ok, still thoroughly recommended
