About this listen

You can pay a terrible price for keeping a promise....

Evelyn Taylor-Clarke sits in her chair at Forest Lawns Care Home in the heart of the English countryside, surrounded by residents with minds not as sharp as hers. It would be easy to dismiss Evelyn as a muddled old woman, but her lipstick is applied perfectly and her buttons done up correctly. Because, Evelyn is a woman with secrets, and Evelyn remembers everything. She can never forget the promise she made to the love of her life to discover the truth about the mission that led to his death, no matter what it cost her.

When Evelyn’s niece Pat opens an old biscuit tin to find a photo of a small girl with a red ball entitled "Liese, 1951" and a passport in another name, she has some questions for her aunt. And Evelyn is transported back to a place in Germany known as "The Forbidden Village", where a woman who called herself Eva went where no one else dared, amongst shivering prisoners, to find the man who gambled with her husband’s life.

A gripping, haunting and compelling story about love, courage, and betrayal set in the war-battered landscape of Germany. Fans of The Letter, The Alice Network, and The Nightingale will be hooked.

I don't like the term "gripping " but this tale of torture, love and human experience had me enthralled right to end. Beautifully enunciated by the reader, one to laugh over as well as cry.

Fabulous

Slow start and wondering where it was going but then it started to make sense. Couldn’t stop listening and found it very gripping as pieces of the puzzle started forming.
It made me wonder if this story was true and whether this tactic had been used before with SOE during the war.
Highly recommended

Excellent narrator. Enjoyed the story, but after a while the main character annoyed me, because she was so manipulative

kept me interested

Firstly Diana Croft splendid narration bought this lovely book to life
She had Evelyns voice beautifully changing from a young naive girl to old lady, and a voice for all the colourful characters.

The story is well told going back and forth from WW2 to 2016 where the elderly Evelyn is residing in her residential home.

There is no getting confused with the jumps in time, as the story is very clear and easy to follow.

The other characters are well described and I have a feeling I have met a few of them before.The end was very fitting and I did have an inkling of the final chapter.

I will miss you Evelyn, you really can’t help but love her.

Eva, Evelyn. A life less ordinary
