About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

From Sunday Times bestselling author Katie Flynn, Forgotten Child is a heartbreaking, uplifting and totally transporting novel to curl up with by the fire.

Scotland, 1940: Isla Donaghue is just sixteen when her mother dies, and her idyllic life comes to an abrupt end. Unable to cope, Isla’s father sends her to the poorhouse when he joins the merchant navy.

Horrified at the harsh conditions of the poorhouse, Isla is determined to escape. Enlisting the help of her newfound friends Meg and Sophie, she devises a plan to flee to Liverpool.

Despite the difficulties of her new life and the dangers of the Luftwaffe, Isla falls in love for the first time. But her beau is not all that he seems… Will true love prevail or will secrets from the past put an end to their happiness?

I was not keen on this story so I will now look for another book.

Not my favourite story at all! For me it was boring. I’d rather have the old Katie Flynn style. More Liverpool themed. Well done Julie Maisey for doing your best.

Not for more.

The worse book I have read of Katie Flynn which I usualy love …. The accents and constant conversation between the main characters I found irritating and boring .. I do not recommend to fans of this author
