About this listen

When 18-year-old Dot meets Sol, she feels that love has arrived at last.

Soloman Arbuthnott is a man who can bring colour and warmth to her drab life in 60s London - and what's more, he is a young, handsome soldier with excellent prospects. Someone who wants to give her everything she has dreamed of. Someone who can promise her blue skies, laughter, sun and always, always love. And for a while, life is truly like a song.

They stroll hand-in-hand by the Serpentine, dance cheek-to-cheek in Soho's smoky bars, and begin to plan their idyllic future, growing old together in Sol's ancestral home on the island of St Lucia. But this is 1961. East End girls don't date West Indian boys, let alone fall in love with them and leave the country. They stay at home and live the life their parents planned for them. Even if it leaves them lonelier than they ever thought possible. Even if it rips their heart in two....

Great details

Far too long and drawn out. Repeated conversations over and over These were not necessary

Olden day descions

Very good story about an era when mixed race relationships were a taboo and also about unmarried pregnancies so different to what we see today.

Stunning narration. Every single character had a completely different personality. Beautiful but heartbreaking story. Big Amanda Prowse fan. Really enjoying this whole series.

Wonderful story.

Emotional. Rollercoaster of frustration, fury, and funny moments, plus a heart wrenching reminder of the challenges faced in different times. Uplifting in parts, tear jerking in others. A memorable listen. Great narration too.

A refreshingly different tale

I loved this story as it was so different. set in the 60s when mixed race relationships must have been so difficult.
