Critics Review

A great read … beautiful and evocative … an intelligent, thrilling novel, and one which will stay with me for a long time – Louise Morrish, author of Operation MoonlightThis is a story of amazing courage. Beautifully written, moving and page-turning … an extraordinary novel that has stayed with me long after I turned the final page – Carol McGrath, author of The Silken RoseA different aspect of the Second World War to any I’ve read before … I found it equally fascinating and shocking, but was transfixed from the first to the last page and I can’t recommend it highly enough. A story that was both heartbreaking and compelling, yet ultimately uplifting. I loved it – Deborah Carr, author of The Poppy FieldA powerful, poignant story of survival – Kate Hewitt
