About this listen

Hattie finds herself relegated to the factory floor on her return from the war. Her workmates are unforgiving at Hattie's attempt to raise herself up, and she is soon ostracised. After journeying to Australia to marry her husband, Clara is betrayed and returns penniless, homeless and trying to raise a child alone.

Lou's daughter and parents are killed by a bomb blast. By day she works at the factory; by night she roams the bomb sites, half mad with grief. These women forge a bond that will ultimately allow them to find hope.

Critic reviews

"This wonderfully descriptive book is a must-read." ( OK Magazine)

When I started listening to this story I wasn’t sure that I was going to like it but as it continued I found it hard to stop listening. Life after the war was so difficult for many people. As usual, Anne Dover is a brilliant narrator and thank you Mary Gibson. I was so glad everything turned out well in the end and a sequel would be good to hear what happened next.

This book is quite different to the ones I have read by Mary Gibson in the past, even so, it was a great story or should I say stories. There are so many twists/smaller stories in one.
It is a roller coaster ride of emotions and alot of the time you feel lots of emotions at the same time. Anne Dover of course is absolutely brilliant at bringing the character's aliive, also she can speak lots of people's voices in different accents, sounds etc.
The ending is lovely! You cannot guess anything in this book, it's a GREAT book and well worth a credit. Alot of books I think I am not going to like or it's slow well that might be them or it might be me, well I am so glad I carried on listening and if you get this- you will be too.
