About this listen

Oxford Street burned for three weeks; the Regent's Park camps have been bombed. Lalla, 16, has grown up sheltered from the new reality by her visionary father, Michael Paul. He has promised Lalla and her mother that they will escape. Escape on a ship big enough to save 500 people. Once onboard, as day follows identical day, Lalla's unease grows. Where are they going?

Critic Reviews

" The Ship is tense, engaging and emotionally charged: I devoured this novel." (Helen Dunmore)

I listened to the free short prequel and loved the writting style, narration and story. I purchased this and found it interesting then frustrating in regards to the main character, yes I may have wanted my story to have a typical ebb and flow and progression about it but I started to think she was mentally ill and that would be the hook, i listened to see if it was ever going to improve, then bam it ended in a really silly manner, after looking forward to it i was very disappointed.

Disappointing ending
