About this listen

1944, Crete. Calliope clutches the baby to her chest as they run down to the harbor. The boat the Allies sent won't wait forever. If only she'd reached the village sooner, her sister would still be alive. She will never forgive herself, but she must stay strong for the baby.

Present day, London. After losing the love of her life, Callie has settled into a quiet life. Every Saturday she faithfully mails a letter she knows will never be read, and every Sunday her granddaughter Ella comes to visit. But this week is different. This Sunday she will confess to her granddaughter about the terrible mistake she made 60 years ago, and beg her to travel to Crete to put it right, before it's too late.

What happened to that tiny baby all those years ago? Callie and her granddaughter are about to embark on an epic journey that will change the course of their lives forever...
