About this listen

Even in the darkest of times, love conquers all . . .

From Mary Wood, bestselling author of the Jam Factory Girls series, A Lasting Promise is a gripping historical novel – full of powerful, heartfelt emotion, set around the Second World War.


France, 1943. As war casts its shadow over Europe, the tranquil life of twenty-three-year-old Sister Angelica's convent is disrupted by the arrival of Nazi forces. Inside the convent, the nuns offer refuge to children in need of care and protection. Despite the ever-present risks, Angelica is determined to honour her promise to keep them safe. Each day is a testament to courage and hope, even when unexpected challenges arise.

London, 1963. Now aged forty-four, Angelica has made a new life for herself in East London’s Stepney. Despite the shadows of war, she is nurturing a family of her own with hope and resilience, ready to embrace the future with open arms. Yet, as life often reminds us, the past has a way of weaving itself back into our present when we least expect it . . .
