About this listen

You can pay a terrible price for keeping a promise....

Evelyn Taylor-Clarke sits in her chair at Forest Lawns Care Home in the heart of the English countryside, surrounded by residents with minds not as sharp as hers. It would be easy to dismiss Evelyn as a muddled old woman, but her lipstick is applied perfectly and her buttons done up correctly. Because, Evelyn is a woman with secrets, and Evelyn remembers everything. She can never forget the promise she made to the love of her life to discover the truth about the mission that led to his death, no matter what it cost her.

When Evelyn’s niece Pat opens an old biscuit tin to find a photo of a small girl with a red ball entitled "Liese, 1951" and a passport in another name, she has some questions for her aunt. And Evelyn is transported back to a place in Germany known as "The Forbidden Village", where a woman who called herself Eva went where no one else dared, amongst shivering prisoners, to find the man who gambled with her husband’s life.

A gripping, haunting and compelling story about love, courage, and betrayal set in the war-battered landscape of Germany. Fans of The Letter, The Alice Network, and The Nightingale will be hooked.

This book was brilliant and I couldn’t stop listening. Not at all what I expected and not my usual kind of book. Fabulously narrated too.

Completely unexpected

Well narrated, interest holding plot to the end & well suited to being listened to rather than self read - the transitions in time & location were dealt with well.

What a brilliant intriguing story. I couldn’t stop listening to this, draws you in at the beginning and you’re away on a journey back to Wartime 1940, then back and forth through the decades of Eva’s fascinating, but sad life. I loved the way she speaks to her husband, “PS: I love you” it was so emotional; but don’t let Eva’s soft side fool you. She is a strong determined woman hell bent on getting revenge on the people who changed her life. Brilliantly narrated.

Great story
