À propos de cet audio
A woman’s future is determined by fate and choice in a gripping WWII novel about danger, triumph, and second chances by the New York Times best-selling author of The Venice Sketchbook and The Tuscan Child.
London, 1940. Bombs fall and Josie Banks’ world crumbles around her. Her overbearing husband, Stan, is unreachable, called to service. Her home, a ruin of rubble and ash. Josie’s beloved tearoom boss has been killed, and Josie herself is injured, with nothing left and nowhere to go.
Evacuated to the English countryside, Josie ends up at the estate of the aristocratic Miss Harcourt, a reluctant host to the survivors of the Blitz. Awed as she is by the magnificent landscape, Josie sees opportunity. Josie convinces Miss Harcourt to let her open a humble tea shop, seeing it as a chance for everyone to begin again. When Josie meets Mike Johnson, a handsome Canadian pilot stationed at a neighboring bomber base, a growing intimacy brings her an inner peace she’s never felt before. Then Stan returns from the war.
Now a threat looms larger than anyone imagined. And a dangerous secret is about to upend Josie’s life again. Her newfound courage will be put to the test if she is to emerge, like a survivor, triumphant.

In 1944, British bomber pilot Hugo Langley parachuted from his stricken plane into the verdant fields of German-occupied Tuscany. Badly wounded, he found refuge in a ruined monastery and in the arms of Sofia Bartoli. But the love that kindled between them was shaken by an irreversible betrayal. Nearly 30 years later, Hugo's estranged daughter, Joanna, has returned home to the English countryside to arrange her father's funeral. Among his personal effects is an unopened letter addressed to Sofia. In it is a startling revelation.

Ava thought her job as a librarian at the Library of Congress would mean a quiet, routine existence. But an unexpected offer from the US military has brought her to Lisbon with a new mission: posing as a librarian while working undercover as a spy gathering intelligence. Meanwhile, in occupied France, Elaine has begun an apprenticeship at a printing press run by members of the Resistance. It’s a job usually reserved for men, but in the war, those rules have been forgotten. Yet she knows that the Nazis are searching for the press and its printer in order to silence them.

As the war begins, Hanna Rombauer, a young German woman, is sent to live with her aunt and uncle after her mother’s death. Thrown into a life of luxury she never expected, Hanna soon finds herself unwillingly matched with an SS officer twenty years her senior. The independence that her mother lovingly fostered in her is considered highly inappropriate as the future wife of an up-and-coming officer and she is sent to a “bride school.” There, in a posh villa on the outskirts of town, Hanna is taught how to be a “proper” German wife.

Lovely Listen
Great performance - loved the accents.
Nice and enjoyable story. Nothing too deep but a good “take me away” treat without the sappy Hallmark dribble on W tv.

Check your Canadian History, Ma. Bowen!
Although for the most part I enjoyed Ms Bowen's latest, I have a huge complaint.
At one point Mike is introduced as somebody who came over to Britain to join up with the RAF because Canada wasn't getting on with it. Well that is just plain wrong! Canada was in the war independently of everybody before just about any other country. Almost 2.5 years before the US! They joined the fight on September 10th, 1939. just one week after Britain and France. They had so many volunteers that Canada never did have to use subscription. The RCAF was one of the most successful and hard-working branches of the Air Force in Britain. To have it disparaged having Mike say I joined up with Britain because Canada wasn't getting on with it is just an absolute insult to the memories of Canada's magnificent armed forces.
It doesn't take much to Google Canadian Armed Forces in World War II, Ms. Bowen. Maybe next time you'll be a bit more diligent in your research.

No real substance
The main character fractured her collarbone which was a terrible hardship for her. Boohoo. The main character skipped about the countryside and opened a tea shop. Meanwhile, everyone else DIED. The Canadian character had some kind of bizarre Boston accent. No actual war grit to this story, a fluff piece.
