Summary
London, 1944. Two young nurses meet at a train station with a common purpose: to join the war effort. Scarlet longs for the chance to find her missing fiancé, Thomas, and to prove to her family - and to herself - that she's stronger than everybody thinks. Nursing is in Ellie's blood, but her humble background is vastly different from Scarlet's privileged upbringing. Though Ellie puts on a brave face, she's just as nervous as Scarlet about what awaits them in France.
In Normandy, the two friends soon encounter the seemingly unflappable Lucy. Scarlet and Ellie are in awe of her courage and competence, but the experienced nurse is well aware of the dangers of the job they've chosen - and even she is terrified they won't make it home alive.
Pushed to their limits by the brutality of a world at war, Scarlet, Ellie and Lucy will need to rely on each other - and the power of their friendship - to survive.

Good story - annoying voice!
I like the story - I got the audio free with my Kindle Unlimited version of the book, so I listened to some of it. The story is quite good, I'm not far into it but will keep going as I enjoyed Hearts of Resistance and am hoping this book by the same author is as good.
The audio voice though is terrible - whilst narrating she sounds bored and stilted and the Irish accent is just plain annoying!
I won't be listening to any more of that!!

Dreadful narrator
The narrator sounded like a computer. Dreadful. Gave up in the first chapter. Shame as I’m sure would have been a lovely story.

Dreadful narration, ruined a good book!
How on earth was Heather Wilds given the job of narrator? Her boring monotonous voice was painful to listen to. I couldn't even mange to get to the end of the first chapter. My computer speaks more "human" than this woman! Does she not understand that there should be a pause at the end of each sentance? This has got to be THE WORST NARRATED BOOK I have ever listened to.......and I've heard some dredful ones in the past but Heather Wilds goes to the top of my list of narrators who I never want to hear again......Absolutely dreadful!

Average war book
The story line was nothing out of the ordinary but flowed well. The narrator had a deathly boring monotonous voice...it would have been better to have read the book.

Wives of war.
Quite a nice story but found the narrator annoying. She sounded like a computer. Hardly any expression in her voice. I think it would have been better to have read it.

Simple
Not very gripping, to wishy washy. It didn't have enough storylines to keep you hanging on.

A romance
This is a very nicely written but predictable story, primarily focused on the romantic lives of the characters. A nice holiday read but shallow.
