Summary
From best-selling and eight-time Christy Award-winning author Lynn Austin comes a remarkable novel of sisterhood and self-discovery set against the backdrop of WWII.
1950. In the wake of the war, Audrey Clarkson leaves her manor house in England for a fresh start in America with her young son. As a widowed war bride, Audrey needs the support of her American in-laws, whom she has never met. But she arrives to find that her longtime friend Eve Dawson has been impersonating her for the past four years. Unraveling this deception will force Audrey and Eve’s secrets - and the complicated history of their friendship - to the surface.
1940. Eve and Audrey have been as different as two friends can be since the day they met at Wellingford Hall, where Eve’s mother served as a lady’s maid for Audrey’s mother. As young women, those differences become a polarizing force...until a greater threat - Nazi invasion - reunites them. With London facing relentless bombardment, Audrey and Eve join the fight as ambulance drivers, battling constant danger together. An American stationed in England brings dreams of a brighter future for Audrey, and the collapse of the class system gives Eve hope for a future with Audrey’s brother. But in the wake of devastating loss, both women must make life-altering decisions that will set in motion a web of lies and push them both to the breaking point long after the last bomb has fallen.
This sweeping story transports listeners to one of the most challenging eras of history to explore the deep, abiding power of faith and friendship to overcome more than we ever thought possible.

Excellent
Brilliant story. The reader pronounced a lot of words wrong so maybe she is an American narrator struggling with British English. However still brilliant.

Heartwarming story
Loved the story culminating in forgiveness. Excellent story, which gripped me all the way through. However, I was disappointed by the unauthentic English accents. There needed to be more differentiation between Eve and Audrey who would have had very different accents.

The accent
It’s such a shame the accent the narrator tried convince us were supposedly authentically English spoilt this story. The pronunciations were not great. There were times when I wasn’t sure who was which character.
Truth love honesty repentance forgiveness a story that makes you reflect.

Very heroic
A wonderful story that taught me what people endured during the second world war and how vitally Amerca‘s help was to the outcome of this war.

Forgiveness
I really enjoyed the book but was disappointed at the end as I believe that Eve was meant to ask for forgiveness from Lewis’ wife and he also needed to know about his son.

Brilliant story
The author is one of my favourites. It’s all about two friends and God’s forgiveness.
I just wanted to carry on listening to the end.
The narrator was really good.

Terrible narrator
Why oh why does Audible not vet their narrators. The book would’ve been okay but you cannot have a narrator that in one sentence goes from American to English to Australian accent. This really spoiled the book and I couldn’t read more than an hour of it before I gave up
