About this audiobook

For fans of All the Light We Cannot See and The Tattooist of Auschwitz!

From the sandy shores of America to the battered streets of London, one woman's search for love and redemption will defy all odds 


Young Adelia Monteforte begins the summer of 1941 aboard a crowded ship bound for America, utterly alone yet free of Fascist Italy. Whisked away to the seaside by her well-meaning aunt and uncle, she basks in the noisy affection of the boisterous Irish Catholic boys next door. And although she adores all four of the Connally brothers, it's the eldest, Charlie, she pines for. But all hopes for a future together are throttled by the creep of war and a tragedy that hits much closer to home.

Grief-stricken, Addie flees—first to Washington and then to war-torn London, where she finds a position at a prestigious newspaper, as well as a chance for a new beginning. But the past always nips at her heels. And in a final, fateful choice, Addie will discover that the only way home may be a path she never suspected.

"The kind of book that absorbs you from the beginning and doesn't let go." —Beatriz Williams, New York Times bestselling author of The Beach at Summerly

Don’t miss Pam Jenoff’s new novel, Last Twilight in Paris, a gripping mystery and an unforgettable story about love and survival.

    When I finish reading a book and I’m sad it’s ended, that to me means it was a good book. Left me wanting more. This book, however, had me wishing it was over, long before it finally ended. Too many plot changes as if the author couldn’t decide the best way to go. Not a fan.

    Loved this book. The ending turned out to be a a surprise. I wish the writer had given me more of the story. I would have liked to know what happens after in their lives. That is a compliment.

    Pretty shallow and repetitive but the writing was ok enough to keep me interested until the predictable end. It worked for listening to while I was doing other things. Could work for a beach read.
