About this listen

From USA Today bestselling author Gayle Callen comes a fascinating historical novel of three courageous young women who aid a desperate British spy during the German occupation of Guernsey Island in World War II.

In 1940, Germany seizes control of Guernsey without a fight—but not without resistance. Innocent young teacher Catherine is forced to house a German officer. Shrewd waitress Betty seeks to elude the persistent Nazi determined to conquer her. And courageous nurse Helen cares for her patients—both British and German—while hiding a British spy in her seaside cottage.

Their fight against the injustices being enacted on their island home brings the women, the spy, and their enemies together in one night that will change all of their lives forever. Though none of them could foresee that the battle they fought that night would reach across time to 1997, when the tragic fallout ensnares Helen once more.

Listen to the narrator in 20% faster than intended by the reader. Will improve the reader’s performance by making the story better than expected.

Story was told in the first episode but it was just too long and the ending wasn’t as interesting as I expected

This could have been a good yarn but for the storytellers slow, dull and boring performance. I’m sorry to say I had to turn her off.

Good storyline
