Julianna Westcott leads an idyllic life in Liverpool, just before the outbreak of World War II. But then she discovers that she has a disabled twin brother and that her childhood is not what it seems. She secretly visits her sibling at the exclusive institution where he lives, attended by orderlies and doctors. While there, Julianna meets Kyle, the son of the groundskeeper. She cannot help but be drawn to him; however, she learns that Kyle is a Catholic, studying to become a priest. After a tragedy strikes, Julianna makes a decision that will haunt her throughout her life. Fiona Hardingham's narration breathes life into the characters and expertly conveys the range of emotions displayed.
VERDICT Give this to listeners who appreciate historical fiction and love stories.
