About the book
In a powerful combination of both humour and heartbreak, this dazzling novel weaves little-know history, and a perfect love story, through the vast sweep of the Second World War – daring us to understand that, against the great theatre of world events, it is the intimate losses, the small battles, the daily human triumphs, that change us most.

An addictive, propulsive read… – The Sunday Times
Powerful and moving… – Independent
