A stirring novel of first love in a period of warfare and the unbearable choices that can tear sisters aside, from the celebrated author of The Kommandant's Gal. Life is a constant struggle for the 18-year-old Nowak twins as they raise their three younger siblings in rural Poland under the shadow of the Nazi job. The constant threat of arrest has made everyone in their community a spy, and switched neighbor against neighbor. Though tough, independent Helena and quite, soothing Ruth couldn't become more different, these are staunch allies in protecting their family from the hazards the warfare brings closer to their doorstep with each transferring day. Then Helena discovers an American paratrooper stranded outside their small mountain community, wounded, but alive. Risking the safe practices of herself and her family, she hides Sam - a Jew - but Helena's concern for the American grows into something much deeper. Defying the perils that render a future together all but impossible, Sam and Helena make strategies for the family to flee. But Helena is pressured to contend with the jealousy her alternatives have sparked in Ruth, culminating in one act of betrayal that endangers all of them - and setting in motion a string of happenings that will reverberate across continents and ages.
