Since she was nine years old, Alina Dziak knew she would marry her best friend, Tomasz. Now 15 and engaged, Alina is unconcerned by reports of Nazi soldiers at the Polish border, believing her neighbors that they pose no real threat, and dreams instead of the day Tomasz returns from college in Warsaw so they can be married. But little by little, injustice by brutal injustice, the Nazi occupation takes hold, and Alina’s tiny rural village, its families, are divided by fear and hate. Then, as the fabric of their lives is slowly picked apart, Tomasz disappears.

A lovely Christmas story!
This is a wonderful short story about Christmas in England during World War II. I was enjoying it so much, I wish the author would add a few more chapters, and perhaps turn it into a full-size book.

A story of hope
Well written as expected. Maggie and Jack have lost their little girl during a harsh winter in London during WWII. A series of disasters on Christmas Eve leaves them homeless and sitting on a bench in Hyde Park. The rest makes for a warm Christmas tale that should be listened to around a fire in December 24th

Very short but very heartwarming!
I love everything I’ve listened to that Rhys Bowen’s written. The characters in her stories are struggling during the war but never let themselves be beaten down. I love how people from different classes come together to help each other out. This story was the shortest I’ve listened to but still every bit as good as the others.

Talk about a tear jerker
The story was too sad. Sure a Christmas miracle, but what about after. Peter's family was fine. The rich usually are. But what about that poor young couple who have nothing? We forget what hell the people close to that horrible war went through. Broke my heart.

A feel good Christmas tale
A nice little story, with all the charm and happy ending of a Call The Midwife Christmas Special. Perfectly enjoyable especially when you want a quick short story.

Whose Child
A lovely heart warming story of an event during the Second World War. Sadness then joy.

What Child is This
It was fine. The story and narration were both mediocre. . . . .

Good story but abrupt ending without conclusion to the story
Was enjoying listening to the story but book appeared to finish without a conclusion which spoilt it.

Lovely Christmas story
The atmosphere of wartime London captured in this short story. A reminder of the sacrifices of the war generation.

Great Christmas Story
Bombed out of their London home and bereft of all except themselves, Jack and Molly find a way forward. Skilfully written, the fanciful story becomes believable. And memorable.
A story, not a novel, leaving you wanting to write the future for the characters.

When Fiona Edwards first sees the lanky backpacker striding up the lane toward her award-winning farmhouse bed-and-breakfast in the remote mountains of North Wales, she's puzzled. She's used to unexpected strangers, but few arrive on foot. The man to whom she opens her door is middle-aged, unshaven, sweat-soaked…and arrestingly handsome. What neither of them knows at that moment is that their lives are about to change forever.
