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

A fascinating story, reminding us just how far we’ve come in 100 years. Evelyn’s story is both joyous and sad and certainly reminds us that we should take our chances in life when we can.
Alice Sockett’s narration is fabulous as always!

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.

I really enjoyed how this story developed from a young lady who became one of the first female racing drivers to covert ops. This felt like a true story. As if Evelyn Bloom was a real character from history that we all should know. The narration by Alice Sockett was fantastic and really brought this story to life.
