Great characters who stay with you after the story is over

Great characters with integrity trying to solve really difficult lives during WW2
The first third of the story is so hard to listen to because their situations are so dire…lots of action in the middle and then each persons story eventually worked out in believable ways
Really great at setting the Blitz and all people endured in an accessible way
I love this writer’s style and research that is embedded in her stories

The absolutely delightful development of the 2 main characters who were completely unique as heroes

Revisado: 03-06-25

I am not an action story ready and I was so wrapped up in the suspense and double crossings but this is a book that begs to be made into a movie!!!! I pictured Mrs Braithwaite to be a not-evil Professor Umbridge and Mr Norris Pierce Brosnan as he takes on older roles. Their character development was pure delight! The writing was clever and the narrator was fantastic!

What a lovely story

The characters were wonderful with their flaws and kindnesses and i felt like i knew them like family. I am better for having listened to this, my mark of a great book

Great story and perfect narrator

Revisado: 01-02-24

I know several people with Asperger’s syndrome and the boy’s observations were so spot on. The story was good but it was all about Ted for me and the insights into how his mind worked. I have listened to it 3 or 4 times!

Love this author’s slow and steady style that lets events and characters evolve very realistically. Great story and the addition of Austen is perfect

A more modern "Daddy Long Legs"

I liked this a lot, but the "discover" did not come off well...both the main characters seemed selfish and wrong at this point. LOVED the descriptions of places I actually have gone to sprinkled throughout the book. The story itself is really sweet and is read well

Started slow but really was a good listen!

Revisado: 11-06-22

At first I detested one of the main characters, loved another and was indifferent to the other 2...as the story draws you in you even out and like them all equally...such a great job of character development! The story is small but huge...a little baking contest and 4 entrants going through differently difficult lives after each being devastated by different aspects of WW2. Very realistic in their growth and just another incredible slice of the real WW2. I loved it.

Very Enjoyable Book!

Revisado: 11-06-22

Being a "Hufflepuff" by sorting (Yes I am a Harry Potter Geek!), I was unsure what to expect from "Draco"...what a delightful audio book! He is really fun to listen to and has a great style of writing. This is a great read for Harry Potter fans, even if you are NOT Slytherins!

This is one of the sweetest and most inspiring books I have ever listened to. It is so deep and so honest and so beautiful…the narrator is perfect and made the experience of listening to this story absolute magic. I HIGHLY recommend it!!

liked it a lot but didn't love it

Revisado: 03-08-22

this would have been a better book for me if I liked and rooted for the main character...I was really disappointed in a lot of her actions and reactions...she was just not likable for me.
