About this audiobook
World War II is over, and a new decade is beginning, but for an East End teenage brother and sister living on the edge of the law, life has been suspended. Sent away to a tuberculosis sanatorium to learn the way of a patient, they find themselves in the company of army and air force officers, a car salesman, a mysterious German woman and an American merchant seaman. They discover that a cure is tantalisingly just out of reach, and only by inciting wholesale rebellion can freedom be snatched.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Sanatorium housed a a good heterogeneous group of People that I got to know well. Today we are all too often in groups of people like us. I enjoyed meeting these varied characters
The historical story reminded me of how much progress in health and living has been made in my 70 plus years. Thanks to science and many good people in public life.
