About this listen
The USA TODAY bestseller!
Inspired by the brave women of WWII, this is a moving and powerful novel of friendship, love and resilience for fans of My Name is Eva, The Alice Network and The Tattooist of Auschwitz.
A story of love not a story of a war…
A daring WWII pilot who grew up among the clouds, Juliet Caron’s life was one of courage, adventure – and a love torn apart by war. Every nook of her Cornish cottage is alive with memories just waiting to be discovered.
Katherine Henderson has escaped to Cornwall for Christmas, but she soon finds there is more to her holiday cottage than meets the eye. And on the eve of Juliet’s 100th birthday, Katherine is enlisted to make an old lady’s final Christmas wish come true…
Me Before You meets The English Patient in this stunning romantic historical novel

"I loved it." (Jill Mansell)
The story has a dual time line, Juliet's during the WW2 and Katherine's during the present day. The story sees Katherine, a widow in her 40's, going to stay for Christmas in Cornwall at the behest of her uncle, but lodges at a nearby cottage owned by Juliet's grandson, who is away in a military capacity.
Katherine soon settles into Cornish life, and the writer brings a few local characters into the story to support Katherine as her widow's weeds finally begin to fall away. Meanwhile she starts reading Juliet's diaries which are vivid and descriptive. Juliet became an ATA girl, ferrying planes from airbase to airbase for the male pilots to fly. Juliet is amazing and a fabulous pilot. Her diaries describe her flying, her friends, old & new and her meeting with an American based in Cornwall called Edward. Their love story unfolds throughout the book.
I would highly recommend this audiobook, because not only is it very well written but the narrator Stephanie Beattie is outstanding & catches exactly the gung ho, can-do attitude of Juliet. It is such a pleasure when a splendid book has exactly the right narrator. A pleasure to listen to. Thank you.
I see that Melanie Hudson has a 3rd book, but sadly is not yet recorded for Audible. Maybe soon? I hope so.
