About this listen

Leeds, 1918. When Amy visits her husband, Jude, at Beckett's Park Hospital, he doesn't recognise her. Broken after serving four devastating years in the First World War, Jude is a shadow of the man he once was. Can he ever again be the man Amy knew and loved?

Barnsborough, 1912. The first time Jude and Amy meet, the connection between them is instant and electric. While a librarian's assistant and a collier might not be the most conventional pair, the two come together over a love of books that quickly turns into more. Neither suspects their families have secrets that threaten to tear them apart....

I loved this story, the characters were so likeable, you felt a part of their families. Some ups and downs, happy and sad moments, didn't want it to end.
Anne Dover, as usual with her narration was brilliant.
looking forward to more from Chrissie Walsh.
