About this listen

While in hospital, seven-year-old Cora Kelly is excited to receive a visit from her mother, who brings a gift of a gingerbread man. Little does Cora know that this will be the last time she sees her.

When tragedy strikes, she moves to London with her new guardian, Eliza. As war approaches and the past comes knocking, everything changes again. Is Cora destined to repeat her parents' mistakes?

This is a good book and very interesting that goes over a few years with a good storyline

Good read

A lovely story following Cora growing up. I enjoyed it except I found the narrator annoying because she rushed from one part to the next without a pause, for at the end of a chapter. Sometimes she read a word wrong , for example when a character was eligible to be called up she said illegible instead.
However I still recommend this book and author.

Very Nice Story
