Publisher's Summary

'Do...do you think it's possible to be in love with two men at the same time?' Molly whispered.
Lady Victoria smiled. 'Oh, my dear. When it comes to those two nephews of mine, I think it's impossible not to be.'

Brothers Thom and Archie are the best of friends and never disagree, until the beautiful, young and very headstrong Molly James comes into their life. Molly might be playing a game with the brothers - but when war strikes and they both join up to fight, it isn't a game anymore.

Based on the true story of the author's grandfather's wartime experiences, At the Going Down of the Sun explores the intense bond between soldiers and brothers fighting in war, and a love that may tear them apart.

At the Going Down of the Sun - Audiobook Disappointment with Hope for the Physical Book

Mary-Anne O’Connor is one of my favourite authors, and I eagerly anticipated the release of her latest novel, "At the Going Down of the Sun." However, despite my high expectations and the inclusion of both a male and female narrator, the audiobook was a disappointment. The male narrator's performance was particularly poor, lacking the necessary emotion and character differentiation usually present in O’Connor's work. If it had been just the female narrator, I could have probably endured it, but the male narrator's lackluster rendition made the storyline difficult to follow and diminished the overall enjoyment of the story. The narrators simply read the text, missing the dynamics and engagement that should captivate listeners. In fact, the audiobook is so challenging to endure that the quality of the story itself becomes hard to judge. Given this, I will endeavour to purchase the physical book in the hope that the story may shine through in that format. For a more captivating listening experience, I highly recommend Rebecca Macauley, who expertly narrated O’Connor's first novel, "Gallipoli Street." Her skill, regrettably, is missing in this latest offering.
