About this listen

From bestselling author Jackie French comes a book about the secrets we carry, those that we unearth—and those that are too dangerous to tell.

The once impoverished medical student Agnes Glock is now the fabulously wealthy Mrs Mulberry. Her estate in the mountains is magnificent, a haven for those too ravaged by the Great War to cope with the society that first condemned them to battle and which now shuns them.

The War has, however, stolen Agnes's chance to graduate as a doctor, as well as the fiance she adored. Her husband, Douglas Mulberry, remains shellshocked and unable to speak. Their scandalous marriage is a farce, an act of kindness to keep Douglas's fortune from his uncle's grasp.

A chance visit to a circus brings about a mystery in the form of a fairylike child whose guardians claim was brought up by dingoes. The child cannot speak and seems deformed. But Agnes is inexplicably drawn to her and believes she can be cured.

The decision to save the child will bring Agnes's lost fiance into her life again, as well as awaken the love of her husband who finds his voice as the three try to solve the mystery of the 'dingo girl'.

Agnes has put aside her own life and the dreams she once had. But now she has choices, with the main question the hardest: Who is Mrs Agnes Mulberry?

Fabulous Story

WOW, WOW, and WOW what a brilliant story this one is, I could barely put it down I was engrossed in story, the characters and the events that bring medical student Agnes Glock to the wealthy life as Mrs Mulberry, this is a must read book truly do not miss it.

Agnes has always wanted to be a doctor and with the support of her parents is studying in Edinburgh she is engaged to Huw Nightingale who is also studying to be a doctor, they both intend to go back home to Australia to work together, but life changes when WW1 arrives, Huw is missing inaction and Agnes is volunteering as a nurse, where she meets Hortense, Puddin Mulberry and they become instant best friends.

When the war ends. Puddin asks Agnes to help save the family by marrying her shell shocked brother Douglas, after meeting Douglas in such terrible circumstances Agnes agrees, this of course causes a huge scandal that they may never live down. Douglas and Agnes sail back home to Australia and the Mulberry estate at Wombat Hills in the Blue Mountains with Douglas still shell shocked and not talking this means Agnes is doing most of the looking after of the estate and with the help of a doctor Agnes builds cottages for men and woman injured in the war and also hires many of them to work in the home, this is frowned upon by the neighbouring town and they keep to themselves but there are many rumours.

Agnes chances upon a circus and discovers a child being used in a sideshow dressed as a dingo and called the dingo child brought up by dingoes but Agnes can tell that she is very ill and insists on taking the child home but first to a doctors to get a diagnosis and here she discovers that her lost fiancé Huw is practicing. The dingo girl also seems to bring her husband back from his shell shocked world, but will they get answers about the girl?

Agnes has made a huge change to her life, she is caring and loving and so very strong the help and empathy she shows the people around her is amazing I love Agnes so much but again life is going to change for Agnes where will her life lead now with her husband Douglas so much better, her ex-fiancé back on the scene and a little girl that needs lots of care and love. This is a heart-warming, compelling and captivating story filled with emotion and so much information on mental health and did the little girl really get bought up by dingoes? You must read this story, I do highly recommend it.
