About this listen
Lily Valance wants to forget the war. She's determined to enjoy the world of the 1920s, with its music, singing, laughter and pleasure.
When she meets Captain Stephen Winters, a decorated hero back from the Front, she's drawn to his wealth and status. In Lily he sees his salvation – from the past, from the nightmare, from the guilt at surviving the Flanders plains where so many were lost. But it's a dream that cannot last. Lily has no intention of leaving her singing career.
The hidden tensions of the respectable facade of the Winters household come to a head. Stephen's nightmares merge ever closer with reality and the truth of what took place in the mud and darkness brings him and all who loves him to a terrible reckoning ...

Excellent opposing views of life after WW1
My first Philippa Gregory and won’t be my last. A well written story of life beginning again after WW1. The expectations are high but norms are crumbling. The horrors of the war are unflinching and there’s some nasty accounts of it. Factual probably interwoven into the story. Lily’s stage life lightens the load. Very enjoyable with a mystery thrown in. Would recommend for history fans and fans of Ms Gregory.

Setting the scene
What a brilliant piece of work! It gives a picture of the struggles of post WWI not just the veterans but people, families and the cultural struggle of what was normal in society before and then after. The detail that paints the picture is brilliantly done.

Brilliantly written and narrated.
Another brilliant story from Philippa Gregory and Bianco Amato deserves praise too for her excellent performance!
It was a ‘can’t put it down’ story and my only complaint is that it didn’t go on longer!! I would have liked an epilogue to let me hear what happened to the other main characters in the story, but it’s good for my imagination to create my own ‘ending’ beyond the very exciting climax where Philippa left us!!
Keep writing long stories please Ms Gregory!!

Absolutely Wonderful
My first Philipa Gregory book and won’t be my last. I love the way she writes with such passion and detail, each character stands out on his own with depth and individuality. I couldn’t put this novel down and read it in 3 days. Highly recommended.
