About this listen

As the German army invades the Netherlands in 1940, Aleida van der Zee Martens escapes to London to wait out the Occupation. Separated from her three-year-old son, Theo, in the process, the young widow desperately searches for her little boy even as she works for an agency responsible for evacuating children to the countryside.

When German bombs set London ablaze, BBC radio correspondent Hugh Collingwood reports on the Blitz, eager to boost morale while walking the fine line between truth and censorship. But the Germans are not the only ones Londoners have to fear as a series of murders flame up amid the ashes.

The deaths hit close to home for Hugh, and Aleida needs his help to locate her missing son. As they work together, they grow closer and closer, both to each other and the answers they seek. But with bombs falling and continued killings, they may be running out of time.

Seriously...every sentence ended with an explanation mark. Every. Sentence!
Plus the romance seemed inapropriate for this time period.

Poor naration to an ok story

I love a WWII drama but this was not for me. The writing was weak, with the inner dialogue sections standing out for their lack of dimension and depth. The Christian overtones were awkward and uncomfortable. There were interesting glimmers with some of the characters but it mostly read as a teen's first attempt at fiction. I love learning about life and the challenges of another era, but the glimpses here were not enough for me. I understand the author has a large following but it will not include me in the future. All the best to those who enjoy.

Not for me.
