About this listen

Emilia and Teo's lives change in a fiery, terrifying instant when a bird strike brings down the plane their stunt pilot mothers are flying. Teo's mother dies immediately, but Em's survives and is determined to raise Teo according to his late mother's wishes - in a place where he won't be discriminated against because of the colour of his skin. But in 1930s America, a white woman raising a black adoptive son alongside a white daughter is too often seen as a threat.

Seeking a home where her children won't be held back by ethnicity or gender, Rhoda brings Em and Teo to Ethiopia, and all three fall in love with the beautiful, peaceful country. But that peace is shattered by the threat of war with Italy, and teenage Em and Teo are drawn into the conflict. Will their devotion to their country, its culture and people, and each other be their downfall or their salvation?

In the tradition of her award-winning and best-selling Code Name Verity, Elizabeth Wein brings us another thrilling and deeply affecting novel that explores the bonds of friendship, the resilience of young pilots, and the strength of the human spirit.

Great story excellently narrated.

Every book by Elizabeth Wein is meticulously researched and beautifully written. We hear little about Ethiopia or its history. It is a beautiful country with beautiful people and wonderful heritage (I have been there) and the author makes this so evident through this book. Maanuv Thiara and Lauren Saunders do a superb job of bringing this story and each character to life. Their accents are delicately done and never over stated. A great, and enlightening, read.
