About this listen

Two cities. Two spies. Which woman survives?

Pianist: NOUN. Informal. A person who operates or controls a radio transmitter – often in code.

July, 1940
Blitz-ridden London: Marnie Fern’s life is torn apart when her grandfather is killed in an air raid. But once she discovers that he’d been working undercover as a radio operative – or pianist – for the Dutch resistance, Marnie knows she must complete his mission – no matter the cost…

Nazi-occupied Amsterdam: At the other end of the wireless, fellow pianist Corrie Bakker is caught in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse as she desperately tries to keep her loved ones out of the line of fire – even if it means sacrificing herself…

Bound together by the invisible wires of their radios, the two women lead parallel lives in their home cities, as both are betrayed by those they trust the most. But when the Nazis close in on one of them, only the other can save her…

The next gripping and heartbreaking WWII historical fiction novel from international bestseller, Mandy Robotham.

realism and attention to detail. characters were vivid and believable.

I loved everything pace, characters , realism, good research....All until the last chapter. Didn't sound like the rest of the book...just stream of seld- introspection.

the bravery of the people. I realize that this was just a story. I also knows there were people that brave in real life.

I thought the performance was very good considering 3 languages, 4 or 5 age groups and a wide range of emotions. Th÷e
hi story dragged me in and kept me there till.the very end. I liked it. a little predictable, but I liked it.

Another superb story by Mandy Robotham!

The story, set in both London and The Netherlands, brought these locations in the early months of WW2 into clear focus for me. The main characters of Marnie, Willem and Cory were superbly developed. The story line was wonderful. I love all Ms. Robotham’s books and this one was as superb as all the others. I look forward to her next!

Predictable and overdone

So I made it to the end which is the sign of a decent story I guess. But the over done language is down right cringy at times. Don’t purchase it. Wait til it’s free at the library
