De: Eliza Graham

Narrado por: Sue Pitkin, Michael Page

Restless, troubled Rosamond Hunter has spent most of her life running away from the past, filled with guilt about her involuntary role in her mother's death. When her nursing job brings her back to Fairfleet, her childhood home, to care for an elderly refugee, she is forced to confront the ghosts that have haunted her for so long.

Her patient, Benny Gault, first came to Fairfleet, England, in 1939, having fled Nazi Germany on a Kindertransport train.

As his health fails, he and Rosamond begin to confide in each other. At first their tentative friendship revolves around the love they both shared for Rosamond's glamorous grandmother, Harriet, but as their trust in each other grows, guilty secrets are exposed and history is turned on its head.

From the acclaimed author of Playing with the Moon and Restitution comes a beautiful and haunting tale of friendship, redemption and forgiveness across generations.

An absorbing and beautiful read 

The character development was extraordinary! I felt as though I understood the personalities and motivations of each individual.

Captivating

This was a captivating and believable story. Gave me a lot to think about that there is an invisible story behind each person.

Good Story Telling!!

This book was well written and the performance was very good. Need to pay close attention, many twists and turns to keep with to lead to an unexpected ending.

So-so

I didn’t like the story. It was ok at the beginning but towards the end, I found myself hoping for an ending that would redeem it but sadly, I was like, “That’s it?!!!”

Great book

I loved the entire story!! There were those twists and turns where truth is revealed as the story goes on but it doesn’t move too slowly. Not too fast either!! It’s just one of those books that has that perfect balance and I didn’t fast forward through anything!!
