June 1940
With the Nazis poised to invade Guernsey in World War
Two, feisty student Lydia Le Page returns home to rescue her parents, but as
she arrives the harbour is bombed and she’s trapped on the island as the German
Military Occupation begins.
Two very different men enter her life: Martin Martell,
the handsome but mysterious rector of Torteval Church and Major Otto Kruger,
the ruthless German Kommandant, who soon falls under her spell.
When Martin disappears Lydia discovers a secret from
her past that threatens her whole future. Will she be able to keep it from the
enemy? Or is it too late? This is a
story about love, loss and the unique identity that makes us who we are.
