Acerca de esta escucha
A gripping, emotional drama of love and courage set in the Philippines during WW2.
1960: Nancy Drayton, an American nurse living on Lake Sebu, is visited by a stranger who hands her some faded letters, given to her by a dying man. Reading them transports Nancy back to the terror of the war years.
1941: When Nancy’s world is blown apart by the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, she volunteers to travel to the Philippines to serve at the front. She soon finds herself working in a field hospital on the Bataan Peninsula in the thick of the fighting, experiencing the horrors of war first hand.
When tending to some wounded men, she meets Captain Robert Lambert, and they become close. But the Japanese are closing in on Bataan, and when the US surrenders, they are driven apart.
As Robert struggles to survive the horrors of the Bataan Death March and the brutality of captivity in a prison camp, Nancy too finds herself a captive, fighting for her life. Will they survive to find one another again or will the forces of war keep them apart?
If you enjoy compelling historical fiction, you’ll love this sweeping story of love and war. Perfect for fans of Kristen Hannah, Dinah Jeffries and Victoria Hislop.

Very good story!
I thought the author did a really good job of describing the circumstances surrounding the defeat of Bataan with a very descriptive story line. The only distraction was the repeated misprounciation of the word "corpsman". The narrator kept saying "CorPsman", The 'P' is silent. The English teacher in me kept wanting to correct the narrator. Other than that minor blip, well done!

Unfortunately, not my favorite Ann Bennet.
I have really liked every book of Ann Bennet's that i have read and I think I've read most. This one was different. It was more of a romance novel and the characters were Americans rather than Brits or Asians. The narrator had a pretty annoying American accent at times very slow and elderly sounding. In the past books, tgere were generally at least 2 scenarios and times while in this one there was only one so,IMHO, the plot wS not that interesting. I look forward to reading Ann's next book and I hope I will like it better.
