From USA Today bestselling author Gayle Callen comes a fascinating historical novel of three courageous young women who aid a desperate British spy during the German occupation of Guernsey Island in World War II.

In 1940, Germany seizes control of Guernsey without a fight—but not without resistance. Innocent young teacher Catherine is forced to house a German officer. Shrewd waitress Betty seeks to elude the persistent Nazi determined to conquer her. And courageous nurse Helen cares for her patients—both British and German—while hiding a British spy in her seaside cottage.

Their fight against the injustices being enacted on their island home brings the women, the spy, and their enemies together in one night that will change all of their lives forever. Though none of them could foresee that the battle they fought that night would reach across time to 1997, when the tragic fallout ensnares Helen once more.

I very much liked the story and characters. It was also interesting to find out more about the German occupation of Guernsey. Good ending too ! However, the narrator was very strange. So slow and with hardly any change in tone. She did the characters very well but very emotionless when reading the story. I got used to her but would have enjoyed it more with an energised narrator!

Easy read and enjoyable story

I really enjoyed the story and the characters. Found it a bit confusing and unclear at the end..had to go back to the first chapter but still slightly confusing ... Catherine died but not clear whether she was murdered or what?
The Narrator not bad but a bit too samey with each character.
On the whole a good story. 👍

Great Story

The narrators voice was very monotone, it was good that the story was so intriguing to keep you wanting to listen more.

Great story with lovely details of life on Guernsey during the war. The ending wasn’t too fantastic though…

Highly recommend
