Summary
 World War II is over, a new decade is beginning but for an East End teenage brother and sister living on the edge of the law, life has been suspended. Sent away to a tuberculosis sanatorium to learn the way of a patient, they find themselves in the company of army and air force officers, a car salesman, a mysterious German woman and an American merchant seaman. They discover that a cure is tantalisingly just out of reach, and only by inciting wholesale rebellion can freedom be snatched.©2016 Linda Grant (P)2016 W.F.

What made the experience of listening to The Dark Circle the most enjoyable?

The story never flags. The main characters are all differentiated and interesting

Who was your favorite character and why?

Persky. A devil-may-care American.

Which character – as performed by Daniel Coonan – was your favourite?

Lennie. Coonan does a great cockney accent.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not particularly

Any additional comments?

An engaging story well read by Daniel Coonan. Occasional howlers of mispronunciation but that didn't really spoil the enjoyment.
