Such a well researched book, this is the author's debut novel. The main characters are Missy and Conrad at the outbreak of World War 2. Missy after her finishing school in the Swiss Alps is staying in Germany for a time and falls in love with Conrad a german who seems to be aware of the rise of Natizism and the dangers rather than looking up to the madness of Hilter and his terrible regieme. ( I can hear the shouty Hitler on one of his speeches they would have heard on the wireless)
They both contribute to the war in each other countries, Missy with the Refugees Childrens Unit and Bletchle. Whilst Conrad is with the German Paratroopers.
This is a story of war from two sides, although I have read a great deal on the war there is something always to learn.
Of course thequestion is will they meet again- readers you need to read this to find out.
Thank you to Lovereading for letting me review this remarkable story.
