About this listen
London, 1942. When art school graduate Eleanor Roy is recruited by the War Artists Advisory Committee, she comes one step closer to realising her dream of becoming one of the few female war artists. But breaking into the art establishment proves difficult until Eleanor meets painter Jack Valante, only to be separated by his sudden posting overseas.
Melbourne, 2010. Although reluctant to leave her family at home, Kathryn can't refuse her grandmother Eleanor's request to travel to London to help her return a precious painting to its artist. But when the search uncovers a long-held family secret, Kathryn has to make a choice to return home or risk her family's future, as Eleanor shows her that safeguarding the future is sometimes worth more than protecting the past.
An engrossing wartime mystery of past deceptions, family secrets and long-lasting love....

Intriguing Love Story
Spanning the years from the early 1940s to 2010, this novel covers the intergenerational impacts of war and the love that binds families together. Sensitive and well written, it looks at how war changed the limits that hampered women in general and artists in particular and ruined the lives of so many.

War artists got me in
As an artist and very interested in WWII, I was eager to read this. What was missing was the British humour. Nothing and no one in this book was the least bit cheery. The story was drawn out and could have been so much more. Summary- boring

Waste of time
A too-predictable story, a secret that today seems almost common place, overwritten. In short, don’t waste your time listening to it.
