Summary

As the German army invades the Netherlands in 1940, Aleida van der Zee Martens escapes to London to wait out the Occupation. Separated from her three-year-old son, Theo, in the process, the young widow desperately searches for her little boy even as she works for an agency responsible for evacuating children to the countryside.

When German bombs set London ablaze, BBC radio correspondent Hugh Collingwood reports on the Blitz, eager to boost morale while walking the fine line between truth and censorship. But the Germans are not the only ones Londoners have to fear as a series of murders flame up amid the ashes.

The deaths hit close to home for Hugh, and Aleida needs his help to locate her missing son. As they work together, they grow closer and closer, both to each other and the answers they seek. But with bombs falling and continued killings, they may be running out of time.

Great WW2 Story

I love Sarah Sundin's books but goodness me she needs a better editor. There were a few big errors in this book, most notable was somewhere in London called Oxford Circle! It's actually Oxford Circus which is a huge crossroads in the middle of town and everyone knows it. The narration had some awful english accents which made me laugh and some of the language used an English person in the 1940's just wouldn't have said some things in this book. Having said all this its a great story and very likeable characters! I do like Sarah's books and I'm sorry to note the errors but a good editor should have sorted this out!
