About this listen
Beneath a Frosty Moon is a soul-stirring saga amidst the frosts of WWII Britain by Rita Bradshaw.
Delve into a riveting tale of resilience with Rita Bradshaw's Beneath a Frosty Moon. Set in the turmoil of 1940s London, this saga paints a heartrending portrait of love and loss amidst the greatest trials of WWII.
When Cora Stubbs and her siblings, are whisked away from home to the English countryside, a supposed haven from Hitler's terror, they soon realize their sanctuary harbours dangers far more profound than the looming threat of war.
Ignited by sheer will and love for her family, Cora strives to carve a new existence amidst grief and the lingering shadows of a lost love. Womanhood beckons and with it, the critical question: can she ever truly escape her troubled past?
