About this listen

Growing up in Birmingham, Sylvia and Audrey Whitehouse have always been like chalk and cheese. When the Second World War breaks out, Sylvia is still dreaming of her forthcoming marriage to fiancé Ian while Audrey jumps at the career opportunities the WAAF throws her way.

Audrey joins the ranks at RAF Cardington but soon finds that her new freedom also brings temptation. When she goes too far, the consequences ripple through the Whitehouse family. Meanwhile, Sylvia is doing her bit as a railway porter, much to Ian's dismay. Ian thinks the job is unfeminine - unlike Sylvia's new friend Kitty, who is as sweet and pretty as can be. But Kitty's innocent nature hides a dark secret . . .

As the pressures of rationing, bombing raids and sleepless nights grow, the two sisters must decide what they really want from life and if they're brave enough to fight for it.

A heartbreaking yet inspiring novel read by Annie Aldington, Annie Murray's Meet Me Under the Clock is perfect for fans of Margaret Dickinson and Katie Flynn.

I so enjoyed the characters and the adventures through their lives. After not enjoying the last book I read by this author, it was wonderful to be returned to the quality I have grown to expect from books by her. Thank you.

If you could sum up Meet Me Under the Clock in three words, what would they be?

Totally, gripping to the end!

Who was your favorite character and why?

All of the characters were brought to life. Cant choose one in particular.

What does Annie Aldington bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Accent and voice change from female to male. Also puts "feeling" into the telling! Excellent narrator!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Dont want to give story away. Suffice to say I was glad when the war was over and families could return to some normality!

Enthralling!
