About this listen

Berlin, 1989. Siblings Rune and Lotte are shaken awake by Mama and told to follow her quietly into the night. Last time they snuck away from Papa, with Mama bruised and broken, they were back within a week. But this time they are starting a new life, Mama says - where nobody can ever hurt them again.

Ten years later, the memories of their escape are blurry; Mama is long gone, and the siblings are back at Papa’s house. But when they receive a mysterious notebook that seems to have come from Mama, Papa tears it apart. Could there be more to their past than they’ve been led to believe?

With Rune paralysed by fear, Lotte takes their fate into her own hands. When she learns about the ‘Puzzle Women’ working tirelessly to reconstruct files shredded by the former secret police, she begs them to help her piece Mama’s story back together. But as Papa’s threats against both siblings escalate, can they unite to learn the full, brutal truth in Mama’s own words at last?

This book had me captivated from the beginning, raw emotions and such a tough subject to deal with . But it was done so well. I felt uncomfortable at times with the subjects and emotional violence discussed but I continued to listen as the characters build and we invest in their outcomes. Not sure what I expected when I downloaded this audiobook but it exceeded everything. So well written, presented , and absorbing.

Helped me put in several sleepless nights during the worst of a cough. Characters that you care about and love to hate. Well narrated with a good range of different character voices. A period in history we are coming to understand more and more and learn from.

Very engaging

There is something in the way that Anna Ellory writes that makes me live the emotions of her characters. I felt real fear, dread, anger, and heartache and could not stop listening because I had to know what happened! I experienced real despair and a need to protect. I love the different timelines and the historical themes have taught me things I hadnt known. I now have to read everything she ever writes obviously!
