Summary

Poland, 1939. A country torn by the occupation of two unlikely allies - Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. 

On the border of this newly divided territory, a young Wehrmacht Unteroffizier, Werner, and a Soviet military interpreter, Kira, meet and fall in love against all odds. Both forced into the military against their will, they wish for one thing only - a peaceful life together. 

Everything is set for Kira to defect and marry Werner...but the German army invades the Soviet Union, and now the two lovers are forced to fight against each other on the opposite sides of the frontline, trying to keep their humanity as more and more atrocities are committed by both armies. 

They have to decide if their love is stronger than the devastation surrounding them or succumb to the hate as sworn enemies should.   

Partially based on true events, this novel will take you on the unforgettable journey through war-torn countries, where hope can be lost in no-man’s-land and one will have to go to great lengths not to lose sight of it.

Not great, not terrible.

Unfortunately I felt like this story lacked depth, there was not much character development outside of the two main characters and it felt quite rushed and a bit disjointed at times, it lacked any twists or turns and was very predictable. It got me through a couple of days at work. The overall story was fine and could have been amazing if it had been given more fleshing out but nevermind!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
