About this listen

Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2022 by Buzzfeed · Bookbub · BookTrib · and more!

Two women, two countries. Nothing in common but a call to fight.


A heart-stopping new novel based on the extraordinary true stories of an American socialite and a British secret agent whose stunning acts of courage collide in the darkest hours of World War II.

1940. In a world newly burning with war, and in spite of her American family’s wishes, Virginia d’Albert-Lake decides to stay in occupied France with her French husband. She’s sure that if they keep their heads down, they’ll survive. But is surviving enough?

Nineteen-year-old Violette Szabo has seen the Nazis’ evil up close and is desperate to fight them. But when she meets the man who’ll change her life only for tragedy to strike, Violette’s adrift. Until she enters the radar of Britain’s secret war organization—the Special Operations Executive—and a new fire is lit in her as she decides just how much she’s willing to risk to enlist.

As Virginia and Violette navigate resistance, their clandestine deeds come to a staggering halt when they are brought together at Ravensbrück concentration camp.

The decisions they make will change their lives, and the world, forever.

The narrator is possibly the worst I’ve ever heard. Every voice is more terrible than the last. Maybe it might be tolerable to American ears who aren’t familiar with authentic accents but as a Brit or any other European it’s just cringey. The writing is also pretty poor. I think the research is lacking as pointed out by other reviewers. The story is quite good but tbh I regret the purchase but I’ve started so I’ll finish.

I’m interested to hear the rest of the story as it might be quite good but the narration is so bad I can’t keep going. The accents are terrible- cringy bordering on offensive. I regret that I didn’t read the reviews.

An absolutely fascinating story, based on such amazingly brave women but…..

It’s a crying shame that the authors style of writing is so dreadful. For example, every time there’s conversation between the characters, the author differentiates between each speaker by adding ‘he said’ or ‘she said’ after every sentence. During periods of prolonged dialogue, hearing he or she said 30 times got really bleeding irritating! There are also multiple glaring obvious inconsistencies such as Virginia putting the car in park (I’m not sure automatics were around during WWII?!) and airmen ‘cutting a rug’ on the dance floor to mention but a few.

You could probably be forgiven for ignore some of these howlers, however the narration was also diabolical. Violette speaks with a Dick Van Dyke cock-o-ney type accent which is constantly punctuated with Ze which made Violette sound German instead of French. Other accents also weren’t much better! There are also sooooo many mispronunciations of people and place names it just became ridiculous.

This story is honestly amazing and I can understand why listeners gave it five stars. If you can cope with the lazy writing and dodgy narration, I’d highly recommend giving this a listen however don’t say you weren’t warned!!
