Wartime Chick lit
This is a easy listening book, personally the narration grated, I have listed to other Imogen Church readings and enjoyed them however this time I found she was OTT. she tried too hard and her male voices did not enhance already weakly written characters. The betrayal focuses on twin sisters Romy and Florence and it is the interplay between these two strong characters which carry the story. There are twists and turns and of course a big betrayal along with a few small and bitter ones. There are a fair few historical inaccuracies which have been given artistic licence in order to make the plot work.

Fantastic read
Loved this from beginning to end. The twists and turns of the plot keep you gripped. I am a big fan of Kate Furnivall but this is the best one so far.
The narrator is really good the french and german accents are brilliant.
The plot is very clever, thrilling and full of surprises. The characters are believable and the attention to detail and research that must have involved is fantastic.
I cant recommend this enough you wont be disappointed.

Pleasant listen if you can bear the far fetched plot
An interesting time & place in history seen through the lens of a convoluted & far fetched plot.

Some holes, but a decent tale if you’re prepared to suspend disbelief
The premise is a little thin and the setting is oddly lacking in effective period detail, apart from a few fashion references and the manufacturers of vehicles and planes. This is mostly forgivable if one is after escapism, however.
What is less forgivable is the narrator’s endless, arch overemphasis. It’s intrusive and overt and gives no light or shade to the telling; everything is delivered in weighty, clodhopping tones which becomes quite wearying quite quickly.
