Interesting Story of family drama
This story had so many plot twists. It's hard not to judge the people in the story. It has me asking myself what would I do in that situation. Losing your children 💔 I can only imagine how that effects your mental health. A person's selfish deed leads to a chain of disastrous events. The children and the mothers are the real victims.

Sad, gripping and potentially triggering
A nearly unbelievable story about the repercussions of the actions (and inactions) of a young, naive woman in 1950s England whose children are kidnapped by their father. Some of the people in this story are thoroughly unlike able (I'm referring to both parents here) but the story itself is fascinating. Be aware that anyone who has experienced trauma in the form of mental abuse or abandonment at the hands of their parents WILL be triggered by this story.

Haunting
Most striking is the way the story repeats across generations, as told by many family members.

Very Sad
Such a sad story. I felt most pity for Andrew and understand how he feels after listening to this. It was special hearing everyone's voices and Daniel really cares. I liked how he reacts to his mother etc.

Loved it!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book; however, I would have classified it more like a podcast. I enjoyed the characters and the voice of the narrator. An unfortunate story but hopefully - in the long run - a happy ending!
