Summary
Thirteen-year-old Lisa escapes from Nazi Germany on the Kindertransport and arrives in England in August 1939. She can't speak a word of English, and among her meagre belongings is one precious photograph of her family. But when the Blitz blows her new home apart, she wakes up in hospital with no memory of who she is.
The authorities give her a new name and despatch her to a children's home. With the war in full swing, what will become of Lisa now?

Difficult to put down story of the effects of War.
I loved this book. I didn't want it to end.
The story of how Lisa becomes Charlotte is written and told very well.
One of the best narrator's I have listened to.
I will look for more books by this author and by the narrator.

A diferent side of evacuation.
What made the experience of listening to The Girl with No Name the most enjoyable?
It was comfortable and yet not totally predictable.
What did you like best about this story?
The characters and varied settings along with the feeling that this was something the author had had some experience.
Have you listened to any of Bea Holland’s other performances? How does this one compare?
This was my first listen. I thought it was good.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Obviously when Lisa recovers her memory and the strengthening of the bond between her and her new "foster mother".
Any additional comments?
Certainly worth a listen.

Enjoyable war time story
Really enjoyed this war time story depicting the hardship of bombing raids, the kind hearts of people to help a Jewish refugee and some twists and turns along the way. The reader was excellent depicting the characters well.

Fantastic
I really really enjoyed this book. The characters are well developed and you receive enough information for each one of them in order to create a clear picture. The performance was great as well.

entertaining
brilliant, loved to hear a combination of ways a war can affect one person and the lives of those who surround them. although fiction, i can imagine alot of research and interest in this period, people can relate to through thier own familial stories. i enjoyed it very much.
