About this listen

Inspired by the incredible true story of how the people of Denmark saved their Jewish neighbours during WW2

Helsingør, Denmark, 1943

In the midst of the German occupation during World War Two, Inger Bredahl joins the underground resistance and risks her life to save members of Denmark’s Jewish community and help them escape to Sweden.

Copenhagen, 2018

Inger’s granddaughter, Cecilie Lund, is mourning her death when a mysterious discovery while cleaning out Inger’s flat leads past and present to intersect. As long-held secrets finally see the light of day, Cecilie learns the story of her grandmother’s courage and bravery, and of the power of friendship, love, and standing for what’s right…even when you have everything to lose.

An inspiring tale of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of community.

Loved the plot, characters and descriptive prose but I found it really hard to continue listening to some of the dreadful accents put on by the narrator! Some very strange accents and none of them in any way Scandinavian!

Terrible Narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I am not usually one for historical drama, the reality is always far more interesting, but this book caught my attention. The split timeline just didn't work for me, the modern day timeline was dull, predictable and gave too much away about the characters from World War 2.
I didn't feel any trepidation or suspense, it all felt rather flat because so much focus was on romance. The importance of the plot just felt like background decoration for a pretty poor love story. It did make me go and read up about the real Elsinore Sewing club.
