À propos de cet audio
An exceptionally moving story of triumph against all odds set during World War 2, from the acclaimed author of Jefferson's Sons and for fans of Number the Stars.
Nine-year-old Ada has never left her one-room apartment. Her mother is too humiliated by Ada's twisted foot to let her outside. So when her little brother Jamie is shipped out of London to escape the war, Ada doesn't waste a minute - she sneaks out to join him.
So begins a new adventure of Ada, and for Susan Smith, the woman who is forced to take the two kids in. As Ada teaches herself to ride a pony, learns to read, and watches for German spies, she begins to trust Susan - and Susan begins to love Ada and Jamie. But in the end, will their bond be enough to hold them together through wartime? Or will Ada and her brother fall back into the cruel hands of their mother?
This masterful work of historical fiction is equal parts adventure and a moving tale of family and identity - a classic in the making.

Loved it!
The narrator's performance really enhanced what is already a brilliant novel. It can sound so awkward or cheesy to hear a single reader try subtly different English accents but she nails every character.
I love this book.
I hesitated at first, thinking it sounded so bleak that reading/listening to it would be a complete drag.
Couldn't have been more wrong. It was ultimately an uplifting experience, despite the cruelty Ada has experienced.

An incredible book for all ages
I got this book for my son when he was 10 or 11. It was, and probably still is, his favourite book, and he was always proud to say that. A few years later I decided to listen to the book myself, and what an incredible story this was. I lost more tears than I would like to admit.
