The first book in a brand new sweeping historical series from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author.

France, 1944.

Deep in the river valley of the Dordogne, in an old stone cottage on the edge of a beautiful village, three sisters long for the end of the war.

Hélène, the eldest, is trying her hardest to steer her family to safety, even as the Nazi occupation becomes more threatening.

Elise, the rebel, is determined to help the Resistance, whatever the cost.

And Florence, the dreamer, just yearns for a world where France is free.

Then, one dark night, the Allies come knocking for help. And Hélène knows that she cannot sit on the sidelines any longer. But secrets from their own mysterious past threaten to unravel everything they hold most dear…

The first in an epic new series from the No.1 Sunday Times bestseller, Daughters of War is a stunning tale of sisters, secrets and bravery in the darkness of war-torn France…

Such an annoying narrator. She sounds like she’s telling a bedtime story to a bunch of 3 year olds. How can the officers not hear that!

The characters where a bit jumbled up l felt bored trying to keep up The events where minimalistic A pilot in the attic A German deserter somewhere else It just didn't flow well Too many events Obvious that hat lady was collaborating but let it slide The narration was amateur

Average fiction

This book was far too long and the narration was awful. I shall avoid any book narrated by SR in future. I purchased this book on a recommendation and did not listen to the sample so can only blame myself. I’ve learnt a lesson.

Did not enjoy
