About this listen

Bristol 1941.

Having left her abusive husband for very good reasons, Mary Anne Randall finds herself judged harshly by her friends and neighbours, after courageously risking everything for a second chance at happiness with Michael.

With Michael away fighting, Mary Anne is less concerned by her tarnished reputation and focusses on keeping her beloved children safe. But with the bombs beginning to fall on Bristol, danger is all too close to home.

Will Mary Anne rise above her tarnished reputation and protect those she loves from the uncertainty of a world at war?

A sequel to A Wartime Wife.

Easy to listen too. Captures wartime well. Evokes the memories that people had living through a world war. And the continuity from the first book is excellent.

Lizzie Lane draws you into the lives of her characters and their very real struggles during wartime. This second book of 2 has you sharing their hopes and joys, traumas and disasters. Never boring, she lays down twists and turns with every chapter that have you intrigued and guessing whatever next! Great stories to get lost in and take you away from the modern world into a time of uncertainty and real danger on the home front. Loved it.
