About this listen

From Sunday Times bestselling author Anita Frank comes an epic tale of love and loyalty at the height of WW2.

Britain, March, 1944.

After a desperate aerial battle over Somerset, a German bomber goes down in flames.

From the safety of her family farm, Joan Marsh watches as three parachutes bloom against the night sky, not realising that one carries a man who will change her life forever.

When Joan discovers the Luftwaffe pilot hiding in her barn, her first instinct is to turn him in – against her better judgment, she offers him shelter instead. As they work side by side in the fields, a forbidden love begins to flourish. But even the most private matters of the heart cannot go unnoticed…

As the walls close in on their unlikely affair, Dieter and Joan's lives become fraught with danger, until passion and patriotism finally collide.

Narrated by award-winning Kristin Atherton, The Man Who Fell from the Sky is an unforgettable story of love, sacrifice and the extraordinary connections that can form even in the darkest moments of history.

It's a superb, believable story with an excellent ending, one of the best I've listened to. The narrator, whilst excellent is a little staccato and too fast, so I slowed it by 10% in the settings, which made it perfect!

Brilliant, but reading is too fast so slowed 10%
