In Times of Rain and War

A Novel

By: Camron Wright

Narrated by: Simon Vance

During World War II, an American soldier encounters a German woman living a secret life in bomb-blighted London.

In September of 1940, during the Blitz in London, Audrey Stocking is blending in with other civilians who are trying to survive the nightly bombings, but she has a secret. She’s not British; she’s German. Her fake passport and nearly perfect English allow her to blend in as she works hard to help evacuate British children into the countryside. Audrey longs to reunite with her family in Hamburg, but her double life, the bombings, and the watchful British Military Intelligence have forced her to stay put. And then there are the paralyzing nightmares....

Lieutenant Wesley Bowers, an American soldier training with London’s Bomb Disposal Company 5, meets Audrey when an air raid leaves an unexploded bomb on the floor of her flat. She is attractive, intelligent, and compassionate, and there’s an immediate connection between them. As they get to know each other, Wesley realizes Audrey is the one bright spot amid the war’s unending bleakness and constant threat of death. But will he still feel the same if he discovers the secrets she is hiding? Secrets even Audrey is unaware of?

In Times of Rain and War is a gripping and heartbreakingly beautiful story about the strength and resilience of the human heart and spirit, reminding us there is always hope in hard times.

Well Narrated

Simon Vance is one of the best narrators. The story is good but not exceptional and it’s worth a listen.

Great story

War, love, survival and loss. It was so good. Loved the weaving of truth and fiction that delivered an excellent story.

About love and the human condition

I loved the main characters and their interactions. There are wise, enlightening, and informative words by the author at the end. Don’t miss that. One of my favorite books, it’s not a typical world war 2 novel. I recommend it to everyone. I’m grateful to have had this one free.
