About this listen
1917. A farm girl from Cavan, Veronica McDermott is desperate to find more to life than peeling potatoes. Persuading her family to let her attend secretarial college in Dublin, she has no idea what she is getting into. Recruited to type for Eámon De Valera, Veronica is soon caught up in the danger of those fighting for Ireland's independence from Britain. The attentions of a handsome British soldier, Major Harry Fairfax, do not go unnoticed by Veronica's superiors. But when Veronica is tasked with earning his affections to gather intelligence for Sinn Féin, it isn't long before her loyalty to her countrymen and her feelings for Harry are in conflict. To choose one is to betray the other....

Unbelievable Errors
Not sure who Soundings are but they need to edit books before annoying the public with them.
For example
"at home in Veronica". Home is Virginia. Veronica is the main character.
Went to boarding school in Carrick-on-Suir from Cavan (was never on a train before and father has a pony and trap... quite ridiculous)
There is snow in the fields, there is frost on the fields. The first flakes of snow start to fall. All within ten sentences. In that order.
Narrator has an annoying habit of pausing mid sentence especially after the words a and the... before an adjective.
