The storyline and characters were interesting, well developed and enjoyable. I was engaged throughout the book. Narration was good except for the slurring, over-stylized voice attributed by Xe Sands. Much of the time it was difficult to understand at all. Still, overall a great listen.

Catherine Ryan Hyde never disappoints. She crafts stories that touch your heart, your very humanity. Every book, while pulling at heartstrings, still manages to be fresh and takes on a subject sufficiently different from her other books to keep the reader engaged throughout.

Well written with interesting characters. This book gives insight into some of the challenges faced during the second world war, with regard to the spy networks and extreme difficulties, faced by this country, and by allies. Anyone who enjoys World War II history will love this book, as I did.

While addressing difficult subjects, the story shows the value of compassion and love. I’ll be looking forward to more from this author and narrator.

This true story of tribes on the NW and the plight of the largely Irish population family who came to champion them is a must read! Engaging, historically and geographically accurate… well written!

While the story line and execution were timely and well written, the constant TOO LOUD to barely audible recording was frustrating.

Historical fiction is my favorite genre and this book did not disappoint. Recommended to me by a friend of many years, it fleshes out a subject I had previously been unaware of and expanded a few I had only passing knowledge of. Fascinating, well written, a truly engaging and, at the same time, informative read.

Historically accurate and grips attention even in the more difficult parts of the narrative.

Karen Brooks does her research well and her narrator is well chosen - appropriate and excellent accent without being so strong it’s difficult for a U.S. native to understand.
