Description
A compelling, beautifully told and moving tale of live and love during the Second World War
At the beginning of the Second World War, Marjorie and her brother are invited to live with an elderly, childless couple in their grand house near Winchester.
Their mother, needing to earn her living remains in London. By chance, she finds herself working with the Belgian Resistance who are engaged in secret and dangerous work.
Christmas arrives and there is a lull in the bombing, Marjorie, now 15 years old comes to stay with her mother who decides to throw a party for her Belgian protégés. Marjorie is invited to dance by a young Belgian officer and the attraction for both of them is instant.
They spend a month together until Marjorie returns to school in Winchester. She wonders what will happen: will he write? Or was he just amusing himself with her?
This atmospheric and touching story reveals the outcome of a tender relationship.

PRILLIE LEWIS
'This book is an insightful and compelling read, beautifully told and heart-wrenching. I felt as if I was there in person and do not exaggerate when I suggest that this would be a great read for anyone between the age of 15 - 110.'
