Summary

The compelling new best seller from the author of The Mersey Daughter and Winter on the Mersey.

Alice Lake has arrived in London from Liverpool to start her training as a District Nurse, but her journey has been far from easy. Her parents think that she should settle down and get married, but she has already had her heart broken once and isn’t about to make the same mistake again.

Alice and her best friend, Edith, are based in the East End, but before they’ve even got their smart new uniforms on, war breaks out, and Hitler’s bombs are raining down on London.

Alice must learn to keep calm and carry on as she tends to London’s sick and injured, all the time facing her own heartache and misfortune while keeping up the Spirit of the Blitz....

The district nurse of victory walk

I thoughtally enjoyed this book it was very easy listening and the narrators voice was smooth not like some narrators where they get too near the microphone & it doesn't matter how much you turn the volume down the gritinessis still there.

Call the Midwife Genre

A comfortable story of nurses in East London in the early war years. Predictable characters and storyline. The narration was more suited to children’s books rather than dealing with domestic abuse, abject poverty, premarital sex and death in war time.
An easy listen when busy doing other things. Won’t listen to any more in the series.

Beautifully written and read.

Beautifully written and read. Hooked from the get-go. Sometimes you need an audiobook that you that makes you feel like you are in someone’s front room, being read to. This is it. The characters are believable, the storylines heartfelt and the book is read beautifully. Highly recommend.

Excellent Book

Loved it from start to finish. I’m guessing there is a second book I sincerely hope so if not it would be a poor ending.
