It's a treat to listen to this book. The actress who reads it nails the character and voice. It's a treat to be acquainted with this story. A tiny island invaded by the Nazis. Sophie's young brother is now the king in exile as their father has died in the first book. Which I haven't read but do now wish to very much. History is captured in the 1930's before the second war has broken out. Politics and famous people, the American Kennedy's are mentioned. The author has done her research. And smartly has incorporated in the books so it's all natural and not forced. Her dialogue works brilliantly for the time frame. It rings true in this lovely fictional work. You care for all characters even daft Aunt Charlotte who wants to marry off the girls. If you like modern world history, this is a book to read. There's a bit of a catch up if you haven't read the first book, just remember it's worth the read. You'll thank me later.
