About this listen

In England in the 1930s, eighteen-year-old Helen Carstairs braves the prejudice of friends and family to marry Heine, a young German photographer who has fled the growing horror of the Nazis. But the storm clouds are gathering in Europe. When fighting breaks out Heine is interned, their small son is evacuated and Helen is left to face the Blitz alone. And the agony of war threatens to divide a family already tormented by conflicting passions of loyalty, shame, betrayal - and love. This heart-wrenching wartime novel was previously published as A Fragment of Time.

How interesting to gain a perspective of the second world war from the perspective of the German people as well as the British and American. Such lovely writing. The narration was so good, but I felt was let down by the unnatural tones used for the characters.

So interesting.
