About this listen

As World War II rages, love, mystery, and secrets collide on the English coast in a riveting novel by the bestselling author of The Snow Gypsy.

In April 1943 a young woman washes ashore on a deserted beach in Cornwall, England. With shorn hair and a number stitched on her tattered chemise, Alice is the survivor of a ship torpedoed by a German U-boat. She's found by the mysterious Viscount Jack Trewella, who suspects that she's a prisoner of war or a spy. But the secret Alice asks Jack to keep is one he could never have guessed, and it creates an intimate bond he never expected.

With her true identity hidden beneath the waves, Alice grasps the chance to reinvent herself. But as she begins to fall for Jack, she discovers he has secrets too - ones echoing the legend of a mermaid said to lure men into the dark depths of the sea.

For two strangers in the shadow of war, lost love, and haunting memories, is it time to let go of the past? Or to finally face it - whatever the risks?

myself, it was so easy to listen too. the events could easily have occurred at this 1944 time in thst locstion. historic possibility despite fiction. interesting, clever, fresh descriptive style of writing. A novel with a bountiful landscape complete with some buildings close to the sea. The church is interesting and the only building that was shared with some figurative descriptive depth. Alice is a l powerful woman a really clear main character. easy read. recommended

beautifully read in synergy with an excellent book!
