About this listen

Torn apart by war – a promise will hold them together…

As the shadows of the Blitz hang over London, young Davey finds himself the man of the house when his father leaves to fight in the war. Trying his best to support his mum and to protect his sister, Davey’s good intentions find him mixed up with the wrong crowd.

To keep him safe, and out of trouble, Davey is sent away from everything he has ever known, to a new life far away in Canada. He has always craved adventure and a place to fit in, though it could mean losing his family forever.

Starting on his new journey will take all of Davey’s courage, but he also made a promise to see his precious little sister again, and he’ll need to be fearless if he is to keep it …

I usually love Cathy Sharp books and I enjoyed this story but the narrator didn't suit the story or sound right. I tried adjusting the sound settings on my phone but couldn't improve things. Sorry Hamish but I hope you don't get the job next time.

I really enjoyed this book, and I thought the narrator was good, too, unlike another reviewer.

Good book
