About this listen

A wartime nurse risks everything to protect mothers and babies in Nazi-occupied Guernsey. Decades later, a hidden record reveals a devastating family truth. Based on a remarkable true story of one woman’s extraordinary courage.

Guernsey, 1943. As German forces tighten their grip on the Channel Islands, nurse Evelyn Nightingale guards a dangerous secret. Within the walls of the Emergency Hospital, she's hidden three babies from the enemy–children who would otherwise face a terrible fate. When a traumatized French woman arrives to give birth, Evelyn must risk everything–with consequences that will echo through the generations.

Dublin, 2018. Still reeling from her mother's death, Kitty White is struggling to keep her family's antique shop afloat when a desperate woman arrives with an old violin to sell. Hidden in its dusty case, Kitty discovers a mysterious list of names that shatters her father's composure. Her search for answers leads her to Guernsey, where she is about to uncover a long-buried secret about her family…

Inspired by true historical events, this heart-wrenching tale will stay with you long after the last moment. If you were gripped by The Nightingale, The Alice Network and The Paris Library, you must hear The Book of Lost Children.
