Summary
Beautiful, dark-haired Lily has been abandoned in a Birmingham slum as a tiny child. With few clues as to her identity she endures a childhood of loneliness and loss. At eighteen she applies for a post as nanny with the family of a Captain Fairford, a soldier in Ambala, north India and his highly strung wife Susan. Lily is drawn into the emotional life of the Fairford family and adores her charge, two year old Cosmo.
When, in 1907, Captain Fairford orders a new Daimler car, it is brought out by a young motor mechanic, Sam Ironside. Sam and Lily fall deeply in love, and it is only later that Lily learns that Sam is married and feels utterly betrayed. When Cosmo is later sent home to school, Lily finds another post with a Dr. McBride and his invalid wife, in a beautiful Himalayan hill station. The place is idyllic, and Lily settles for a quiet life. However, she is unprepared for the pain and misunderstandings that follow and force her to run from everything she has known...
Where Earth Meets Sky takes us from Edwardian England and the British Raj, through the darkness of the Great War to the glamour of Brooklands Race Track in the 1920s. Spanning two continents, it is a story of enduring friendships and two hearts which cannot be kept apart.

Quite wonderful
A really spellbinding story you will be completely caught up in. I couldn't bear to stop listening. The narration is brilliant too and carries the story along in a really clever way. Excellent listening to lose yourself in. I can't rate this highly emough

A comfortable listen
Would you try another book written by Annie Murray or narrated by Annie Aldington?
I am a big fan of Annie Aldington, so yes. Probably would not try another book by Annie Murray unless strongly recommended.
What does Annie Aldington bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Annie Aldington
Could you see Where Earth Meets Sky being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
Yes, but they would have to speed it up a bit
Any additional comments?
Started off well, ups and downs in the middle and dragged out in the end. The story is a little frustrating sometimes, non of the characters are particularly exciting. The main male character is weak and got on my nerves a bit.

Great story
As usual Annie Aldingtons narration was first class and brought the story to life, we travelled the world a bit with this story
