Summary

The highly anticipated sequel to The Girl with No Name, a heart-warming family saga from bestselling author, Diney Costeloe.

The war is over, but trouble is brewing....

Wynsdown, 1949. In the small Somerset village of Wynsdown, Charlotte Shepherd is happily married and now feels settled in her adopted home after arriving from Germany on the Kindertransport as a child during the war.

Meanwhile, the squire's fighter pilot son, Felix, has returned to the village with a fiancée in tow. Daphne is beautiful, charming...and harbouring secrets. After meeting during the war, Felix knows some of Daphne's past, but she has worked hard to conceal one that could unravel her carefully built life.

For Charlotte, too, a dangerous past is coming back in the shape of fellow refugee, bad boy Harry Black. Forever bound by their childhoods, Charlotte will always care for him, but Harry's return disrupts the village quiet and it's not long before gossip spreads.

The war may have ended, but for these girls, trouble is only just beginning.

Not as good as the first book

This is a more gentle book than the first, although in the last 4 hours the tone changes somewhat (had to turn the book off sharply when it came on automatically on the school run!). Interesting to catch up with some of the characters but glad I got it in a 2 for 1 would have felt a credit wasted otherwise. Not a bad book but an unremarkable one.

A wonderful story, beautifully narrated.

I loved everything about this audiobook. I felt so connected to all the characters that I really did not want the story to end. I loved the pace of the novel; the portrayal of the characters; the descriptions; the period detail and the excellent accents of the narrator. These really brought the characters to life and made the story even more engrossing. What a wonderful audiobook! I enjoyed every moment.

Great story

I loved the girl with no name so was eager to read this, however the narration isn't as good and the continuity for the characters is lost. Caro is turned into a dippy woman, not the confident woman in the first book for instance. I didn't much like the voices for Charlotte and Billy either but others are ok. overall another hit, if you can forget its not Bea Holland narrating
