About this listen

The first heartwarming book in the Cornish Girls saga series perfect for fans of Ginny Bell and Elaine Everest

1941. The Blitz rages over London.

And even in Cornwall, the war is being fought…

When Violet loses her sister in the Blitz, she must take her nieces to safety in Cornwall. On the coast, she meets carefree chorus girl Eva, who is also running from the dangers of London.

But Porthcurno hides a secret military base, and soon Violet and Eva realise there’s a battle to fight in Cornwall, too.

Together with local Hazel, who works on the base, they must come together to help the war effort. But will their friendship be enough to keep them safe?

The perfect uplifting wartime listen for fans of Nancy Revell and Donna Douglas.

I love Cornwall, & WW2 is one of my favourite periods of history so this ticked all my boxes.

Having been to the areas mentioned many times, it really came alive (if you've ever been to the telegraph museum at Porthcurno, this book will be extra engaging).

Great characters, good story, made me want to listen to the rest of the series, which have been added to my wish list.

Great stuff, loved it.

This story was absolutely fantastic! I loved every single chapter. Also the the lovely characters. They were brought to life by the talented Laura Kidman. Now all I want is the next audiobook by this wonderful writer.
Well done Betty. You have such a talent.

You can’t go wrong with this story.

This first book invested in the characters.
Looking forward to future editions and where the stories of the characters will lead

Nice lead up to the characters

So much so, I listened to the book in one day and I’m looking forward to the next book in the series. Laura Kirman narrates it well and Betty Walker is a capable author.

An eventful story during the Blitz

I was left feeling too little interested in the characters and still waiting for something to happen that was unpredictable. I won't be pursuing this series.

This is a sweet story but for me, it lacks substance and is too predictable.
