About this listen
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Survivor, Lesley Pearse's stunning new novel in the best-selling and enthralling Belle series. Read by the actress Alison Dowling.
London, 1939: Eighteen-year-old Mari is defiant, strong-willed and selfish. She has craved independence her entire life and now, with the World on the brink of war, Mari has finally escaped the sleepy fishing village of her childhood in New Zealand.
After passionately falling for Morgan, the cockney steward aboard ship on her voyage to England, she hastily dismisses him in favour of being taken out by handsome young pilots in the glamorous West end. But, without warning, the Blitz blows her new life apart. Now Mari has the chance to make a difference but can she learn from her mistakes in time?

Change in narrator from Books 1&2
Having just read the first two books in the Belle series it was a strange choice to change the narrator for this third book. The new narrator was better overall but the fact that certain characters’ accents changed completely was annoying (eg Mog had a strong welsh accent in the first two books but in this book had a Kiwi accent). It was a good book but it took me half of it to get past the fact that familiar characters didn’t sound right.

All about second or third generation
I was surprised to find this story is mainly about Belle’s daughter when I thought there might have been some NZ heroics. Based back in England in second WW with similar heroics as first WW and Belle. Good chick flick and real history at the thick of it. Different reader to the other two books and quite noticeable when read one after the other.

So so slow
Could it have been any slower. Was going to give it up! I don’t know why? Mari’s voice was of a child not of a mature woman & the main narrator was putting me to sleep even when I was exercising. Not the best of this author. Dragged too long & predictable :(

Why change narrator on the third part?
I never write reviews but I feel I needed to speak up and while I have thoroughly enjoyed the Belle series, I feel that this book was let down by the change in narrator!!! Not that the narration was bad but both Belle and Mog lost their accents and became New Zealanders. Belle is from London and Mog is Welsh but not anymore! It was not true to the original audiobooks and as such was such a struggle to believe in the characters.
Furthermore, as they moved over as adults, they would not lose their accent so completely. Yes, they would develop a NZ twang but not a complete switch... I speak from experience here. Ugh... this point alone ruined the final book for me. I was thankful that most of the book was based from Mari’s point of view so I could ignore the change in accents.
With that said, I do enjoy how full the authors stories are but I would even go as far to suggest that the author get the original narrator to re-read Belle and Mog’s parts.
