An Ordinary Life

De: Amanda Prowse

Narrado por: Amanda Prowse

From the bestselling author of The Girl in the Corner comes a tale of love, loss - and one last extraordinary dance.

Christmas Eve, 2019. Ninety-four-year-old Molly lies in her hospital bed. A stroke and a fall may have broken her body - but her mind is alive with memories.

London, 1940s. Molly is a bright young woman, determined to help the war effort and keep her head up despite it all. Life becomes brighter when she meets and falls in love with a man who makes her forget everything with one dance. But then war forces her to make an unforgettable sacrifice, and when she’s brought to her knees by a daring undercover mission with the French Resistance, only her sister knows the secret weighing heavily on Molly’s heart.

Now, lying in her hospital bed, Molly can’t escape the memories of what she lost all those years ago. But she is not as alone as she thinks.

Will she be able to find peace - and finally understand that what seemed to be an ordinary life was anything but?

Great story

I really enjoyed this story, it was interesting hearing about the history and how people moved on to live a good life.

Wonderful story

I loved this story and couldn’t stop listening. I’d highly recommend it. Well written and excellent narration.

Listen to this book!

I have probably read over 150 World War II novels. This one has left me in tears. The story the emotion the authors voice it’s beautiful. I’m crying as I’m writing this. I have not felt this move by a story and probably all but three of the books I have read. It’s very good. I have to go get some Kleenex now.

A Tender, Well Written Story.

Beautifully written. So easy to relate to the well-drawn characters. Set largely during (and just post) World War 2, the author captures the spirit of the time very well. Perfect narration by the author. Well worth listening to.

A great read

Absolutely love the story. It held my attention and I didn't want it to end however he did wrap it up very nicely. A really great story if you like historical World War II

Not to be missed

I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Such a beautiful reflection of a painful time in history. The thoughts and events of a woman whose life was shaped by events out of her control...an ordinary life filled joy and sadness.

This story is not ordinary but brilliant

Excellent story, perfectly told. Well worth the read. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the world war era.

Heart wrenching, beautiful

A beautiful love story, creatively written, excellently narrated, a true gem of a book, I loved it!
