About this listen

As World War II rages, love, mystery, and secrets collide on the English coast in a riveting novel by the bestselling author of The Snow Gypsy.

In April 1943 a young woman washes ashore on a deserted beach in Cornwall, England. With shorn hair and a number stitched on her tattered chemise, Alice is the survivor of a ship torpedoed by a German U-boat. She's found by the mysterious Viscount Jack Trewella, who suspects that she's a prisoner of war or a spy. But the secret Alice asks Jack to keep is one he could never have guessed, and it creates an intimate bond he never expected.

With her true identity hidden beneath the waves, Alice grasps the chance to reinvent herself. But as she begins to fall for Jack, she discovers he has secrets too - ones echoing the legend of a mermaid said to lure men into the dark depths of the sea.

For two strangers in the shadow of war, lost love, and haunting memories, is it time to let go of the past? Or to finally face it - whatever the risks?

I enjoyed the afterword that explained some of the historical basis for the story. I would have liked even more historical information in the story itself, but enjoyed the book overall. The narration was excellent.

Good story overall

This book showed up as a romance recommend fir me. It has the tiniest sprinkling of a romance with no real chemistry. But did that bother me? Not in the least. The book is more of a historical drama set in WW2 times. It was not my usual read but I did really enjoy it nonetheless.

Good, Not Really a Romance

At first It was difficult to get used to narrators Irish accent, But once I was able to do that which didn’t take very long it was so Genuine with the whole story and her eventful, life along with everyone that she encountered. And even out of all the danger she was in often she fell in love . the undercurrent of romance led to a wonderful ending. Many historical events in this book and the places she describes makes me want to go and visit Them and the clean romance that leaves you with a happy feeling.

I have always loved historical fiction and this one was no disappointment. I learned so much that I did not know and was happy swept along. It had a predictable ending but I still greatly enjoyed the journey.

I really enjoyed this book… the moral decisions made and how people pulled together throughout the war to help end the Nazis. I usually don’t lean towards romance but had enough historical fiction to make it interesting.

Wonderful novel capturing WWII truths
