Acerca de esta escucha
In the dying days of the Raj, can paths divided by time and circumstance ever find each other again?
In 1930s Northern India, childhood friends Stella and Andrew have grown up together in the orbit of the majestic Raj Hotel. Spirited Stella has always had a soft spot for boisterous Andrew, though she dreams of meeting a soulmate from outside the close-knit community. But life is turned on its head when one scandal shatters their friendship and another sees her abandoned by the man she thought she loved.
As the Second World War looms, Andrew joins the army to fight for freedom. Meanwhile in India, Stella, reeling from her terrible betrayal, also throws herself into the war effort, volunteering for the Women’s Auxiliary Corps, resigned to living a lonelier life than the one she dreamed of as a child.
When Andrew returns to the East on the eve of battle with Japan, the two former friends are reunited, though bitter experience has changed them. Can they rekindle what they once had or will war demand of their friendship the ultimate sacrifice?

Historia
This story is dedicated to all the victims of sexual slavery in German concentration camps, who had to endure inhumane suffering under the Nazi regime. For many years after the atrocities had been committed, both sides - the abusers and the abused - still vehemently denied certain aspects of the Holocaust, and even the victims refused to admit the ugly truth about their incarceration, some out of fear, some out of shame, until several women decided to break an unofficial oath of silence, and brought their stories to life. This book is based on one of those stories. Emilia is a young Jewish woman, whose life slowly turns into a nightmare as she finds herself facing a dreadful choice: to secure her family's very existence by offering herself to one of the men who had put her behind the walls with barbed wire, or perish together with the least fortunate ones.

Phenomenal
I have been reading as many Books by Janet MacLeod Trotter as possible after my introduction by reading the India Tea series. The Raj Hotel series is no different, it is consistently captivating, excellently written with a plot and characters that sucks one in! I am so hoping that there's a third book as I was so disappointed to get to the end of the Sapphire Child!
I am also particular about narrator's and Elizabeth Knowelden does an absolutely smashing job of reading it.

Feel good story set in WWII India
Feel good story set in WWII India, sequel to The Emerald Affair. Where the first book was beautifully written literature, this was a more simply told romance story. Most of the plot "twists" were obvious, but hoped for. In true Bollywood style (and paraphrasing John Lennon) "Life is like a film, it always has a happy ending and if it's not happy then it's not yet the end."

Lovely series
These Audible books are wonderfully. Each one takes me away to a time and a place I've never been. I've laughed, smiled, cried felt that first tickle of falling in love, and been angry at a character or two. All while I'm in my ceramic studio making pottery! The author and narrator make a dynamic duo 😊

I enjoyed listening to this long book. Interesting storyline throughout. I have one complaint: after the long awaited HEA, I would like the author to add the joy of the 2 sweethearts having a child together. 😊
