About this listen

"The Nazis are everywhere now. We must leave Vienna. It might be that soon our letters won’t get out anymore. Can you help, dear sister? Please, ask for us. Send news, and quickly. Please."

London, 1938. Sixteen-year-old Natalie Leeman makes the heartbreaking decision to leave her family behind in Vienna and travel to England to join her cousin Leah in service. Natalie is placed with a wealthy suburban family, the Caplins, as a nanny to their energetic six-year-old.

At first, Natalie is delighted by the huge house and beautiful gardens, but things aren’t as perfect as they seem. While Natalie dotes on their child, she is increasingly wary of Mr. Caplin, whose gruff manor and fascist politics scare her. And then there are those still waiting at home - Mama and her two sisters, as well as a blossoming romance with her English tutor that had only just begun.

But when Vienna falls under Nazi rule, Natalie begins to fear for her family, especially her vivacious, tomboy little sister Libby. Then rumors of a possible escape route from mainland Europe called the kindertransport begin to swirl - can Natalie help her family escape the Nazis before it’s too late?

Perfect for fans of The Alice Network, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, and Before We Were Yours.

Not her best

I love Lizzie Page's Schilling Grange Orphanage series, so I gave this book a try. But, the story line just moved along so slowly.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
