À propos de cet audio

1937, Europe and America. Based on a true story, this powerful novel about wartime courage and extraordinary friendship, tells how two women changed the fate of the Second World War and the course of history.

When an impossibly shy young woman named Judy Morgan finishes her studies in Physics at Cambridge University, it is with dreams of changing the world for the better.

Meanwhile, a beautiful, young Jewish woman decides to flee her beloved Austria, changing her name to Hedy Lamarr, and risking everything to get to America, as far away from the Nazi threat as possible.

A powerful friendship is formed when the two women meet in pre-war London - with Judy’s passion for science a perfect match for Hedy’s brilliant talent for invention. So when the world is gripped by a war that nobody could have imagined in their worst nightmares, both Hedy and Judy know they must act now.

As their lives repeatedly collide, in Cambridge, California, Pearl Harbor and beyond - throwing both their lives into danger and tragedy - Judy and Hedy both find themselves seeking ways to end the war.

But neither of them will know that one of them is on a path of tragedy. A path that could change the outcome of the war, but also threaten their friendship forever....

Fans of The Ragged Edge of Night, My Name is Eva and Beneath a Scarlet Sky, will love this unforgettable story about love, courage, and devastation set in World War Two Britain, Hollywood, and Pearl Harbor. Based on two true stories of amazing "hidden women" who changed the world, this novel shows the power of friendship in the darkest hours of history.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Fantastic…. [Kelman] has a knack for writing vividly detailed scenes that make the reader feel as if they are actually experiencing the event with the characters… This should be at the top of your reading list…. Impeccably researched, heartfelt and emotional (I needed tissues for the last few chapters). By far, one of my favorites of the year.” (Fireflies and Free Kicks Fiction Reviews)

The story follows the life of Judy Morgan & Hedy Lamarr, two strong and smart women through many decades of the 20th century, when brilliant scientific minded women were not respected. This is a fictional story, but the characters were based on the well known actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr, and a prominent scientist Joan Curran (as Judy Morgan). I like the story and the characters, but could not quite connect with Hedy. I didn’t feel that all those details from her life actually described her enough. Still I would recommend the book.

Love love love this. I love to read about the strong women that made a difference that have been ignored by science and history. It’s about time they received recognition! Well done!

Great true story!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book! So much of this story, I did not know. Frustrating to hear how women of high intelligence were so put down and ignored. Even today people think if you have beauty, you can't have brains as well. It certainly put a huge damper on Hedy's life, and worse because of prejudice, something that could have helped the war effort so much was totally ignored. How absolutely foolish. Thank goodness we've advanced since then. This novel was woven beautifully around the two women's lives. Would read it again! Highly recommended!

this story was so beautifully written and narrated. i cried towards the end with Judy and her husband, and again with Hedy and Judy. i don't want to give away any spoilers but it's a great book about how women are not taken seriously due to stupid patriarchy. loved it.

loved the story about women friendships

Based on two true stories, Judy and Hedy Lamar become instant friends and their stories unfold. A fantastic read. A beautiful story of love, loyalty and friendship.

Beautifully written!

This was a really good read. It's far more about the women's lives... and very interesting. The contrast between the two women, the choices they made and the lives they led. A really engaging story.

Loved it!
