About this listen
Winner of the 2015 Desmond Elliott Prize
1976: Peggy Hillcoat is eight. She spends her summer camping with her father, playing her beloved record of The Railway Children, and listening to her mother's grand piano, but her pretty life is about to change.
Her survivalist father, who has been stockpiling provisions for the end, which is surely coming soon, takes her from London to a cabin in a remote European forest. There he tells Peggy the rest of the world has disappeared.
Her life is reduced to a piano that makes music but no sound and a forest where all that grows is a means of survival. And a tiny wooden hut that is everything.

Critic reviews
"Fuller handles the tension masterfully in this grown-up thriller of a fairytale, full of clues, questions and intrigue." ( The Times)

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this audiobook as it is intriguing, well-read and includes an interesting twist in the tail (although I have to admit I guessed it pretty much straight away).What did you like best about this story?
I enjoyed the twist in the tail, and I also enjoyed learning that I had guessed it correctly!Which character – as performed by Eilidh L. Beaton – was your favourite?
I think the central character, Peggy or "Punzel", was generally the character with whom it was easiest to sympathize, partly because she is also the narrator - even though she does retain a certain amount of mystery until the end of the story. I liked her mother, Ute, as well. The reader did a good job, and I was particularly impressed by her ease with and good pronunciation of the German phrases that occasionally came up.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Perhaps not all in one sitting as that would have been several hours! But it was gripping and I did get through it quite quickly.Any additional comments?
I was not sure whether I would like this book, as there has been a lot of hype about it and that is not necessarily an indication of quality... but I found it well-written and I was quickly swept up into the story, which was not easy given the subject matter. A very enjoyable audiobook.Agreeably surprised
