Set in the stunning landscape of North Wales just after D-Day, Peter Ho Davies’s profoundly moving first novel traces the intersection of disparate lives in wartime. When a POW camp is established near her village, seventeen-year-old barmaid Esther Evans finds herself strangely drawn to the camp and its forlorn captives. She is exploring the camp boundary when the astonishing occurs: Karsten, a young German corporal, calls out to her from behind the fence. From that moment on, the two foster a secret relationship that will ultimately put them both at risk. Meanwhile, another foreigner, the German-Jewish interrogator Rotherham, travels to Wales to investigate Britain’s most notorious Nazi prisoner, Rudolf Hess. In this richly drawn and thought-provoking work, all will come to question where they belong and where their loyalties lie.

Welsh girl looking for company in Turku! Come meet her at the café!

I picked this from yesterday's meet-up at Puutorin Nurkka in order to send it forward. Thanks for the book and company! This café will probably be on my visit list also next time as it's in the vicinity of Turku Art Museum. I just have to see the museum's Forests of the North Wind exhibition (ending 19 May).

Tämä lähtee postin matkaan huomenna, kuriiri käy postitusasioilla aamusta. Hyviä lukuhetkiä ja aurinkoisia kevätpäiviä!

Thank you for the Easter package :)
