About this listen

1958. Esme, a novelist, finds a potential new literary project. A housemaid named Clara was convicted of murder, perhaps unjustly, amid the ending of World War II and the liberation of Guernsey from Nazi occupation.

Esme’s trip to Guernsey is an opportunity not only to research the case but also to learn more about her mother’s family—as well as to heal from the heartbreak inflicted on her by the man she loved...

1915. A teenager marries her childhood sweetheart before he heads off to fight in the Great War. But he doesn’t come back, and Jane, presumed a widow, flees Guernsey—devastated by her loss.

In London, Jane finds a new life and a new husband—but her past isn’t done with her yet. This absorbing audiobook follows the parallel paths of two generations of women, and as each is faced with painful decisions and shocking discoveries, a question emerges: Can a lie be forgiven when the truth seems too much to bear?
