À propos de cet audio

Combining “fast-paced historical fiction with a hint of suspense” (Booklist), this epic saga from Julia Kelly explores love, motherhood, and betrayal set against World War II.

Liverpool, 1935: Raised in a strict Catholic family, Viv Byrne knows what’s expected of her: marry a Catholic man from her working-class neighborhood and have his children. However, when she finds herself pregnant after a fling with Joshua Levinson, a Jewish man with dreams of becoming a famous jazz musician, Viv knows that a swift wedding is the only answer. Her only solace is that marrying Joshua will mean escaping her strict mother’s scrutiny. But when Joshua makes a life-changing choice on their wedding day, Viv is forced once again into the arms of her disapproving family.

Five years later and on the eve of World War II, Viv is faced with the impossible choice to evacuate her young daughter, Maggie, to the countryside. In New York City, Joshua gives up his failing musical career to serve in the Royal Air Force and try to piece together his feelings about the family he left behind. However, tragedy strikes when Viv learns that the countryside safe haven she sent her daughter to wasn’t immune from the horrors of war. It is only years later, with Joshua’s help, that Viv learns the secrets of their shared past and what it will take to put a family back together again.

Telling the harrowing story of England’s many evacuated children, Kelly’s The Lost English Girl “will hook readers from the first page” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

As always, this book did not disappoint. The story captured my heart throughout the entire novel. I cannot wait to listen to the next release. XO

Love this Story!

The story would have been good, as I do love historical fiction. However, the male narrator was so overly melodramatic that it made the listening very difficult. I was tempted to DNF but the female narrator kept me going. Could have been so much better with the right people doing the reading.

Terrible Narrator Ruins Half the Story

Excellent Story

This book touches on a number of things and issues, for me at the very end everything was put into context, and it was then that I realized what a jewel of a book this really is.

Authors note puts a twist on the story!
