About this listen

During war, nothing is ever at it seems …

Sally Hartley is a hopeless romantic. Her father died when she was a baby, but she has lived on stories from her mother of what a wonderful man he was. Now, all she wants is a love like theirs. And she thinks she’s found it in Adam, the brother of a friend from home. When Adam is posted to Orkney, it’s like Sally’s dreams have all come true.

After Italy changes sides in the war, the Italian POWs are granted more freedom on the islands, meaning Sally can spend more time with her friend, Aldo, and the two grow ever closer. But when a family secret is revealed, Sally's trust might be forever broken.

Sally, Iris and Mary must continue their duties, even as life changes drastically around them, including an attack on one of their fellow Wrens from an unknown assailant. Now the friends face danger not just from the enemy, but also someone much closer to home.

I loved hearing the stories of all three girls and their time in Orkney. All three girls feature in the three books and their stories continue. This book is around the girls rather than the work they do as in the first book. But it was lovely to hear Sally's story.

Wonderful
