If I Were You: A Novel

De: Lynn Austin

Narrado por: Sarah Zimmerman

From best-selling and eight-time Christy Award-winning author Lynn Austin comes a remarkable novel of sisterhood and self-discovery set against the backdrop of WWII.

1950. In the wake of the war, Audrey Clarkson leaves her manor house in England for a fresh start in America with her young son. As a widowed war bride, Audrey needs the support of her American in-laws, whom she has never met. But she arrives to find that her longtime friend Eve Dawson has been impersonating her for the past four years. Unraveling this deception will force Audrey and Eve’s secrets - and the complicated history of their friendship - to the surface.

1940. Eve and Audrey have been as different as two friends can be since the day they met at Wellingford Hall, where Eve’s mother served as a lady’s maid for Audrey’s mother. As young women, those differences become a polarizing force...until a greater threat - Nazi invasion - reunites them. With London facing relentless bombardment, Audrey and Eve join the fight as ambulance drivers, battling constant danger together. An American stationed in England brings dreams of a brighter future for Audrey, and the collapse of the class system gives Eve hope for a future with Audrey’s brother. But in the wake of devastating loss, both women must make life-altering decisions that will set in motion a web of lies and push them both to the breaking point long after the last bomb has fallen.

This sweeping story transports listeners to one of the most challenging eras of history to explore the deep, abiding power of faith and friendship to overcome more than we ever thought possible.

Captivating!!

This story was written in such an authentic way that I felt like I was living through their experiences with the characters . I felt every emotion there is, but even in the middle of the darkest moments in the story, there was always hope. This author is very talented, and the narration was excellent!

GREAT AUDIO-BOOK!!!

I enjoyed every moment of this story. Lynn Austin is an amazing author. I have heard every audio-book of the “God and Kings” series, and loved every single one of them.

Excellent

I really enjoyed If I were you. Excellent history and the age old story of forgiveness, and Gods Grace!

Wonderful!

My first Lynn Austin book and I was not disappointed! Wonderful story of friendship and forgiveness! The narrator was excellent!

Wow!

at first, I had a hard time following. but give it a couple chapters and you'll be sucked in. the ending was beautiful and a good reminder of the forgiveness of our Saviour.

Well written and told story of friendship, salvation and forgiveness.

This story reminded me of just how horrifying war is for the innocents. Told against the backdrop of England under constant barrage from the Nazis as the last holdout in Europe, the true story is one of friendship, sacrifice, lies, betrayal, being lost, and finally, being found by the Good Shepherd, who offers love, forgiveness and salvation.

Enjoyed the story

Book is well written and easy to follow. Loved the characters and storyline. I appreciate the God reference and His forgiveness.
The reader should not have attempted any of the United States language. It was hoRRRRRRendous! The accents were not accurate at all. Made me laugh though🤣

Best read in a very long time.

Full of Truth, the struggles of life, family relations and gruesome war and evil, but also harrowing the power of love, faith and purpose.

Another Amazing Lynn Austin Book

I love the way Lynn Austin brings history into her novels. You learn so much from her books. And the faith that unfolds always keeps me coming back for more.

Captivating

A glimpse into WWII through the tale of two young girls caught up in unexpected adventures and the trials of life and true friends. Honestly sad when the story ended, I wanted to know what was next! Excellent book!
