About this listen
How far will they go for family, friendship, and love?
Occupied France, 1940. When the staff at a field hospital draw straws to find out who will join the evacuation from Dunkirk, Nurse Cate is left behind. But when the Nazis arrive to claim prisoners of war, she takes her chance and flees into the night, taking one patient with her.
Fifty miles away, the surrendering soldiers of the Royal Norfolk Regiment are shot dead by the advancing Germans. Beneath the pile of bodies two men survive, crawling to the safety of a nearby farmhouse, where sisters Elise and Adelaide risk their lives to take them in. When Cate, too, arrives at their door with her injured soldier, the pressure mounts.
The sisters are risking everything to keep their visitors safe. But with the Nazis coming ever closer and relationships in the farmhouse intensifying, they must all question the sacrifices they are willing to make for the lives of others. How far will they go for family, friendship, and love?

Most excellent story
This is a most remarkable story. fast moving, not over detailed on trivial facts. Narration is outstanding. Stories like this remind us of the sacrifices made by many so that others could live free. Highly recommend.

I am shocked to know much of the story is true
The story kept my attention , it was gripping and awesome what the characters were able to do for each other, in so terrible circumstances.
The author really saved the best till last with Harry appearing out of the gloom, like a ghost.
Thanks for your research into a part of history which must be painful for many. And for bringing the story to life..

Utterly compelling
This beautifully researched novel was utterly compelling. It's heartbreaking to imagine what so many soldiers, nurses and French nationals endured through WW2 and that anyone survived the events of Dunkerque.

Gripping well researched
I loved the characters in this, the story is captivating and so interesting covering many aspects of the war years.
Thankfully the descriptions of the wounds are not graphic however you still feel the severity of what the soldiers suffered. The courage shown by the protagonists and their experiences is commendable. The writer is well known for basing her stories on research. Each of her books is recommendable read. A thoroughly enjoyable and gripping story of hardship, love, courage and determination .
