About this listen

For Kay, living on her husband Bror's country estate, the Nazi invasion is a time of uncertainty. Bror is desperate to preserve the legacy of his home, even if it means co-existing with the enemy; Kay cannot do the same. She is lured by British Intelligence into a world of resistance.

Tasked with protecting an SOE agent, Kay learns the art of subterfuge. Caught on opposing sides, will Kay and Bror find their way back to one another?

One of the most gripping, nerve jangling books I’ve read. Beautifully crafted and one of the best narrative performances I’ve heard on Audible. Totally recommend, even if your interest isn’t around WW11 and SOE.

Beautifully written and narrated story

Great storyline, so clever how the characters interlinked. It gave an insight into the struggles faced by the SOE and the interpreters during the war. I loved the characters and felt a range of emotions throughout. The story was gripping and I didn't want it to end.

Brilliant narration, what an ending!

I've listened to many WW2 stories over the past few years but this one tops my list. In fact, this was my second time of listening and it still affects me in so many ways.

I knew nothing of Denmark's role in WW2 and because of this it was very informative and the story was both personal and factual. The author wove a rich tapestry of what humans are capable of when pushed to their limit. They either stand up to be counted or fade away. It put brother against brother, wife against husband, as in this story, and the reader experiences so many different emotions. It was an excellent story and I didn't want it to end.

THE narrator was excellent too bringing to life the author's story. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in WW2.

EXCELLENT STORY! EXCELLENT NARRATOR!

Very sad and annoying that the Danish names, addresses and towns were so badly mispronounced. It would not have been difficult to find the correct pronunciation and convey respect to the Danish language.
Otherwise a very good story well read.

A beautiful story about occupied Denmark lacking the correct names, places and words which any language or country deserves.

Felt that I was placed in the story because of the wonderful descriptions of the countryside.

Great performance of reader
