About this listen

Barbara - a child of the Blitz - has more secrets than she cares to admit.

She has protected her children from the harsh realities of life and told them little of the poverty of her childhood, nor of the darker side of her marriage to one of Britain's most famous photographers. With such an incomplete picture, her youngest, Sophie, has struggled to understand who her parents really are, and in turn, Barbara sometimes worries, to build her own identity.

When Sophie decides to organise a vast retrospective exhibition of her adored father's work, old photos are pulled from dusty boxes. But with them tumble stories from the past, stories and secrets that will challenge every aspect of how Sophie sees her parents.

Dead boring sorry. You become so much more discerning when you have to listen to a story and not actually read it. Wonderful narrator though.

Having read Ordinary People and loved it, I was keen to read another book by the same author.
What a disappointment. Boring story with an ending that I’d figured out half way through the book.
And one of the narrators had the most dreadful fake accents I’ve ever heard. Would not recommend.
