About this listen
The new escapist novel from the author of Island of Secrets. Perfect for fans of Santa Montefiore and Lucinda Riley.
'I am Sofia. I am searching for my daughter, born 1st November 1972. Can you help me?'
On the beautiful beaches of Crete, an old woman is handing out scraps of paper. Sofia, eighty-five years old, unable to speak, is desperate to find a daughter she has never known. After a tragic childhood in Athens and a soaring career as a singer, the brutal treatment of the man she loved by a tyrannical regime forced her to give up her daughter mere days after her birth. Now she longs to be reunited with her child before it's too late.
Meanwhile in London, Zoe is searching too. In the months since the disappearance of her teenage daughter, Zoe's life has crumbled apart. Her husband has left her, her son feels forgotten, and every day is a struggle. But Zoe is desperate to track her daughter down, even if she doesn't want to be found....

Amazing story and Narration
I will be sure to research the events - Britain's dirty secret - I had no idea of the Greeks' persecution and misery.
The story was an epic love story, a heartwarming family saga and a wonderful narration. 2 × tissue box listening. Salud!

Fascinating Story
I loved listening to this audio book and it was hard to stop at night and get some sleep.
The characters are great. The story pulled me in and is very good written.
Although based on a sad violent time in Greece, there is also a lot of love, compassion
and emotions. I'll have a look at other books of the author.

Beautiful story history and present day weaves together
This made me cry and laugh
So poignant and so much based on the history of Recent Greece
But also a current day story which we can all relate to
Family, love fear so many emotions
Beautifully read

loved it
This book was completely not what I expected. The title is misleading, but this turned out to be a good thing. I loved the historical nature of the story and the character development..and I had tears prickling my eyes on more than one occasion as the novel wrapped up..

Book cover belies the tragedy within
Set in Greece after the Second World War.
Greece is corrupt.
The Imperialists versus the Communists. The allies, side with the corrupt Imperialists and bomb innocent people.
Sophia is a singer, like her mother. Marcus’ father becomes her manager
Marcus is a Communist seeking revenge for the death of his family.
The story is a mix of Greek history after the war and the struggle for survival of the citizens from famine due to corruption and interference from America and England.
This book is a tragedy. It is a love story of Sophia and Marcus, of their baby, given up to save its life, and the search of her mother, Sophia, to see her before she dies.

Enjoyable read
I enjoyed the book overall but found a few of the characters a bit shallow, Megan particularly. Also, obvious holes in the prison story were irritating.
However, it was interesting for the most part.
Narration good.
