About this listen

A breath taking and unputdownable WWI historical book club listen

FROM THE MULTI AWARD WINNING AUTHOR OF SWIM - THE ASTONISHING TALE OF LUCY MORTON

1922, London. Evelyn Bloom lies dying in her Mayfair flat.

A decade earlier, she had the world at her feet - a dazzling celebrity who socialised with royalty, ignited scandalous love affairs, and filled headlines with her daring exploits.

Now, surrounded by the faded mementoes of a brilliant life cut short, Evelyn is left to wonder: How did it all go so wrong? And why, when she had everything, has she been left to die alone?

A breath-taking and unputdownable WWI historical novel, perfect for fans of Kate Quinn, Natasha Lester, and Mandy Robotham.

Critic reviews

"A joy-ride of a book! This is herstory at its best. A little-known heroine at its heart - feisty, fast, full of intrigue and passion. I whizzed through Evelyn's compelling story." - Laura Wilkinson, author of That Night in New York

''Compelling, heart-breaking and gutsy. I couldn't stop turning the pages!" - D.E White

I was totally transported to a by-gone era by this beautifully read and highly entertaining story. Alice Sockett the narrator’s pace, timing and perfectly executed accents bought this charming tale to life. I loved it thank you!

The perfect book to keep me entertained while working in my art studio. Although the story was a little predictable in places, it was brought to life by the Alice’s light and warm voice, and I could picture every scene like a movie playing out in my head.
This book was recommended to me, and I didn’t know what to expect when I started to listen to it, but I found it to be a lovely, cosy listen, and was sad when the story ended.
