關於這本有聲書

In the winter of 1920 the War of Independence is raging and Dublin is a place of terror. But eleven-year-old Sarah is afraid of nothing – British soldiers, checkpoints, even the dreaded Black and Tans. She wants to be ‘a rebel for Ireland’. Then she discovers that there is a secret, deadly war going on behind closed doors. This is a war of spies and counter-spies, of whispers and assassinations, all under the watchful eye of Michael Collins. And Sarah’s family are up to their necks in it all ... now she too knows things that could cost her her life.
