À propos de cet audio
Ninety-eight-year-old Ginny McAllister’s last wish is for her granddaughter to complete a treasure hunt containing clues to her past. Clues that reveal her life as one of the first female pilots at Pearl Harbor and a devastating World War Two secret.
Pearl Harbor, 1941: On the morning of December 7, Ginny is flying her little yellow plane above the sparkling seas when she spots an unknown aircraft closing in on her. She recognises the red symbol of the Japanese fighter planes almost too late. Somehow, she manages to land unscathed, but the choices she is forced to make in the terrible hours that follow have tragic consequences....
Pearl Harbor, 2019: Heartbroken Robyn Harris is reeling from the death of the strong, determined grandmother who raised her. Her only comfort is a letter written in Ginny’s distinctive hand that details a treasure hunt, just like the ones she used to set for her as a little girl. Except this time, the clues are scattered across the beautiful island of Hawaii. Despite her grief, Robyn finds herself intrigued as she follows the trail of letters, revealing the truth about Ginny’s service during the Second World War.
But Robyn’s whole world is turned upside down when she’s faced with a shocking secret that has the power to change the course of her own life....
Inspired by true events, this is a heartbreaking and unforgettable WW2 novel about love, loss, and bravery. Perfect for fans of The Alice Network, The Nightingale, and Kathryn Hughes.

She steps into the room and it’s like going back in time. Catapulting her right into the heart of the 1940s. The spindle of the record player frozen and ready to play. The flowery wallpaper faded but intact. A soldier’s uniform pressed and hung on a door, coal still in the fireplace.

Auschwitz, 1945: My baby’s thin cry pierces the cold, frosty night. I rock him gently in my arms, willing him to be quiet. Because if anyone hears my newborn, he could be snatched from me–or worse. We’re so close to freedom now and I pray that soon I will walk out of the iron gates with my precious son…

Ce que les critiques en disent
"I loved it!... I loved it!... This book has it all!…page-turner…. I highly recommend this book. If you enjoyed The Alice Network or The Nightingale, this is a must-read for you!" (With a Book in Our Hands)
"Wow!.... 5 Star Book!... Amazing.… I was hooked. I couldn't stop reading…rich in detail, beautifully written and hugely absorbing." (Oh Happy Reading)
"So inspiring…heart-warming and beautiful.... Hits all the emotions, I didn’t want it to end…a rapid page-turner.... I devoured this book in one sitting…an amazing and fantastic read, I absolutely loved it…phenomenal and absolute must read." (Page Turners)
The narration was competent but annoying in aspects: 1) some of the female adults voices sounded child-like while many of the male voices sounded like awkward teens, 2) a perplexing emphasis was placed on some words to make it inappropriately dramatic at mundane moments.
Overall, I enjoyed it and recommended it as a ‘light’ version of a Pearl Harbour story
