Summary

England is at war. Growing up in a lighthouse, Pet's world has been one of storms, secret tunnels and stories about sea monsters. But now the clifftops are a terrifying battleground, and her family is torn apart.

This is the story of a girl who is small, afraid and unnoticed.

A girl who freezes with fear at the enemy planes ripping through the skies overhead.

A girl who is somehow destined to become part of the strange, ancient legend of the Daughters of Stone....

Strong and Engaging

Very strong story that’s engrossing with twists and turns that carry one deeper and deeper into the mystery. I’ve enjoyed this as an adult who wanted a good listen. The characters, their motives, relationships and circumstances have a depth that has added to the pleasure. They change and grow as the story unfolds. If there is a message that stands out, it’s that good people sometimes do bad things, but there is also a lot about honesty and forgives too.

A good yarn, well told.

Engaging and beautifully sustained. A couple of minor anomalies only a WW2 historian would even notice, which in no way detracted from my enjoyment of the story.
