Judges’ comments

A captivating and intricately plotted dual-timeline mystery in which a trip to Italy brings 89-year-old Jinx face-to-face with long-buried secrets of her wartime past. Warm, superbly characterised and with snappy dialogue, we couldn’t help but root for Jinx all the way to the emotionally-charged ending.
