De: Cora Buckles, Violet Millhouse

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

England, 1960s: Madeline Wicks was born while the world was at war. She never knew her mother. Her father, an American flyer in the RAF, became a hero back then. But peace time and grief left him with little ambition afterwards. She never went to regular school from the start, but her father insisted she learn from the books he'd pinched from the library. They took the books back, of course, because they were borrowers, not thieves. Madeline was quite partial to mathematics though and could calculate probability in her head. Useful, given her father was also quite a gambler. That was his downfall, and she meant to learn from that tragic example. But what happens when Madeline comes into a stash of somebody's cash by mistake? What if she just borrowed it for a bit like those library books back then?
