About this listen
England, 1918. Armistice Day should bring peace into Leonora's life. Rather than secretly making cosmetics in her father's chemist shop to sell to army nurses such as Joan, her adventurous Australian friend, Leo hopes to now display her wares openly. Instead, Spanish flu arrives in the village, claiming her father's life. Determined to start over, she boards a ship to New York City. On the way she meets debonair department store heir Everett Forsyth.... In Manhattan, Leo works hard to make her cosmetics dream come true, but she's a woman alone with a small salary and a society that deems make-up scandalous.
New York City, 1949. Everett's daughter, Alice, a promising ballerina, receives a mysterious letter inviting her to star in a series of advertisements for a cosmetics line. If she accepts she will be immortalized like dancers such as Zelda Fitzgerald, Josephine Baker and Ginger Rogers. Why, then, are her parents so quick to forbid it?
Her Mother's Secret is the story of a brave young woman chasing a dream in the face of society's disapproval. ©2017 Natasha Lester (P)2017 Audible, LtdWhat listeners say about Her Mother's Secret

Beautiful story
My favourite narrator brings this story to life! Heartwarming and tragic with a twist. I will explore the author and demolish her books… So good.

I didn’t want it to end
Absolutely brilliant! Narration was exceptional! I kept looking for excuses to listen as the characters felt like family. I really enjoyed this book and from the 100s I’ve listened to, I put this in the top 5. I actually felt a sense of mourning when it was over, One of my all time faves.

Not my favourite Natasha Lester
This book was somewhat enjoyable but I don't like "edge of your seat" drama for such a prolonged period. Or the constant conflict. Could be triggering for some people. Narration was excellent.
