A daring young woman will risk her life to find her destiny in this atmospheric, beautifully drawn historical debut novel - a tale of love, hope, and danger set during the First World War.

Lady Elizabeth Neville-Ashford wants to travel the world, pursue a career, and marry for love. But in 1914, the stifling restrictions of aristocratic British society and her mother’s rigid expectations forbid Lilly from following her heart. When war breaks out, the spirited young woman seizes her chance for independence. Defying her parents, she moves to London and eventually becomes an ambulance driver in the newly formed Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps - an exciting and treacherous job that takes her close to the Western Front.

Assigned to a field hospital in France, Lilly is reunited with Robert Fraser, her dear brother Edward’s best friend. The handsome Scottish surgeon has always encouraged Lilly’s dreams. She doesn’t care that Robbie grew up in poverty - she yearns for their friendly affection to become something more. Lily is the most beautiful - and forbidden - woman Robbie has ever known. Fearful for her life, he’s determined to keep her safe, even if it means breaking her heart.

In a world divided by class, filled with uncertainty and death, can their hope for love survive...or will it become another casualty of this tragic war?

Somewhere in France

Love! I enjoyed listening to Somewhere in France and would recommend it to my friends.

Very Sweet Novel

I enjoyed this novel thoroughly both for its romantic nature as well as its historical qualities. The story teller is also excellent!

Wonderful Storytelling

I loved how the heroine found stayed true to herself as she became a strong Independent woman. The love story was wonderful I thou thoroughly enjoyed this book and the performance added to the characters.

A story of the Great War.

The romance side of this book was very sweet and a bit fluffy. But the medical side - of the field hospitals, staff and soldiers was very compelling.

Loved it

I was drawn to this story from beginning to end. It was so nice to have a sweet ending. I’m looking forward to the next one.

The desire to serve, regardless of the perils & personal costs - well done

The descriptions of the battles and the lack of effective medical care during that era - the pain & suffering as a result- also well done.
Bedroom scene unnecessarily graphic

Could not even get a good start.did not like the voice

Could not even get a good start. The narrater’s voice was too annoying to continue.

Automated voice -horrible-

The AI voice is the worst thing. Although the tone is acceptable the voice cannot “express” it is monotonous enough to bore you to death.
