Synopsis
It’s 1945, and Lorna Anderson’s life on her father’s farm in Scotland consists of endless chores and rationing, knitting Red Cross scarves, and praying for an Allied victory. So when Paul Vogel, a German prisoner of war, is assigned as the new farmhand, Lorna is appalled. How can she possibly work alongside the enemy when her own brothers are risking their lives for their country?
But as Lorna reluctantly spends time with Paul, she feels herself changing. The more she learns about him - from his time fighting a war he doesn’t believe in, to his life back home in Germany - the more she sees the boy behind the soldier. Soon Lorna is battling her own warring heart. Loving Paul could mean losing her family and the life she’s always known. With tensions rising all around them, Lorna must decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice before the end of the war determines their fate.

Très contente de l'avoir lu !
Moi qui vit à côté des plages du Débarquement j'ai apprécier lire une histoire qui se passe de l'autre côté, en Angleterre, dans un village où la population vit à distance les événements. Ils doivent survivre, aidés de prisonniers allemands.
Une vision différente, l'auteur s'est basé sur une partie de fait réel.
Et je l'ai plutôt bien compris !
