    It's not often I abandon a book, but I know I'm stressed & tired and the last thing I need is to listen to a book in the car that's only annoying me. I got to the start of the 3rd CD (out of 8) before throwing in the towel, but I couldn't bear to listen to anymore trite goings on. From as far as I got, it's set in Swansea in WW2. Hari & Meryl are sisters with a dead mother & a father away in the army. They're bombed out of their house and Meryl is evacuated, while Hari is working in communications at a shell factory (really?). She got given a morse receiver & told to work out how it worked (no instruction, nothing) then sent to take a bag to Bletchley park followed by a bag to the Prime minister. In a borrowed jeep. A girl who could barely drive at the beginning of the book. At that point I decided the blood pressure had risen enough and it was time to stop. But it was Hari's friend Kate who seemed to get all the plot cliches. She gave herself to some airmen because they were frightened. Then found a bloke she loved only he then found out and dumped her - but not before a desperate last shag - when she falls pregnant. She almost has an abortion, but changes her mind, only to loose the baby and her sight in an explosion at the shell factory - only person in the vicinity left alive. At which point the errant boyfriend comes back & swear he loves her, which is a god thing as a bomb has fallen on her family home and killed her entire family. Then the BF goes back to the front and is missing in action. Are there any other hardships that could befall a girl in the space of 2 CDs? because I'm not sure I could think of any.This was just too superficial and relied too much on extreme levels of coincidence to be an interesting or enjoyable read. Struck me as dated (although i don't think it is) or written for my granny - it would have been right up her street.
