Amazing WWII Historical Novel
What a bittersweet book taking place in Angels Cove, Cornwall. This is a historical fiction book unusually placed in three time lines. You have Juliet, Katherine and Juliets journals. The plot is so well developed with believable and interesting, likable characters. The carefully going back and forth made this book more relevant. I usually don't like bouncing back and forth in timelines but it was needed to get the feel and write this book. This book is great.you have Juliet and her amazing story is told from her point of view about the women who flew the ATA during WWII. Thewomen who could fly were trained to fly the airplanes the Britist flew as there were not enough men to do this. Katherine gets a letter from Uncle Gerald with an invite to Angel Cove. The first night she found the journal and begins to read Juliets beautiful story of love, loss, friendship and hardship. Then later to realize Juliet is still alive. This is a must listen to book with the narration done by Stephanie Beattie. Stephanie with the British accent draws you in and maintains your interest. I highly recommend this book.

If you love stories about the women pilots of WWII
I fell in love with this book and was so sorry when it concluded. Katherine and Juliette were people I would have loved had they been real...and they were so real in this book. More complexity than many of this sub-genre, this is well worth a listen or a read. Also loved Stephanie Beattie's performance.

Slow Start - Amazing Story
Took me awhile to get use to the narrator's cadence and also to get invested in the characters. Just a bit too much time spent on why she went to Angel's/Angels/Angels' Cove. But then the story "took off and I never wanted it to land". Worth your time.

One of the sweetest books I’ve ever read...
I was hooked from the opener. Ms Hudson’s way of weaving a story is captivating. I love WWII historical fiction, and she did a lovely job of bringing poignant remembrances of that time. The love story was unexpected, but lovely; nothing cloying or smarmy. I fell instantly in love with all the characters, and could have listened for endless hours to the performance.

Don’t miss it.
What an achingly beautiful story. It is balm for anyone who has forgotten a bit of their zest for life. The narrator, Stephanie Beattie, is first-rate; her expressive voice brings the characters to life and it seems as though she loves reading it. I could see everything happening in my mind and I didn’t want to stop listening.
