About this listen
A new Second World War novel from best-selling author Diney Costeloe, based on a gripping and moving true story.
Plymouth, 1941. As sirens blare all around, the Shawbrook family take refuge in a packed shelter. Bombs have already begun to fall through the night sky when they realise their infant son, Freddie, has been forgotten in the rush, left to sleep in his crib. Terrified, Vera, his young mother, races to find him and bring him to safety.
The next morning, air raid warden David Shawbrook returns from his watch to find the shelter pulverised, and his family seemingly all dead. Dirty footprints inside their home betray the looters who have rifled through the house.
Meanwhile, Maggie waits alone for her husband. Since the death of her infant son, she passes her days at home with neither joy nor aim. But not this morning. For this morning her husband has brought home a child, found abandoned in the aftermath of the terrible raid - a child she is sure is the one she held in her arms so many months before.

Captivating
I loved this book from start to finish. It kept me on the edge of my seat. This is the first book I’ve read by Diney Costeloe but I’ll definitely read more as it kept my concentration throughout. I want to read more of this author and loved the narration by Georgia Maguire.

A Lovely Wartime Story
I really enjoyed this lovely wartime story. It makes you realise how lucky we are to be living in today's world, and makes you realise what peopled endured in those times. My heart went out to Maggie, it really did, but I won't say anymore, so that I don't spoil the story. Very well written by Diney Costeloe. It is my second novel of Diney's, I throughly enjoyed The Girl With No Name too, which I highly recommend. A fantastic narration by Georgia Maguire. Thank you to both for a lovely few hours spent listening to this book.

Couldn't put this down!
I literally had to listen to this in the fastest time possible, I wanted to know the ending lol. I've always liked Diney Costello, and to have it read to me was double the pleasure, an absolutely great story impeccably read.
