About the Book

It's 1944 and Anna's in the Sudetenland, her elder brother is at the front and her younger one is a fanatical member of the Nazi Youth. When she finds an escaped Russian soldier hiding in their barn, nearly dead, humanity conquers fear and she hides him in a disused bunker and continues to feed him despite knowing that if caught she'd be executed as a traitor. She doesn't dare tell even her mother. As the front approaches their village from the east it seems the Russian prisoner will soon be re-united with his comrades - but will Anna's already suspicious brother uncover her guilty secret first and expose her to a traitior's fate, and her family to destruction? n incredibly realistic and moving account of how one girl refuses to accept Nazi idealogy and has the courage of her conviction. A riveting insight into how the war affected the Sudetenland and its German and Czech population.

Review :
'Not a comfortable read, but richly rewarding, here's a story from Germany's foremost writer of books for young adults.' Absolutely terrific. The growing friendship with Anna and Maxim is beautifully written as is the tension between their world and the world outside their relationship... An outstanding book. 'Moving Second World War account of a young girl who finds an escaped Russian soldier and refuses to toe the Nazi line. A powerful insight into how the war affected the German and Czech population of the Sudetenland. . . Once you get into this book you can't put it down. It really makes you feel as if you are there.' An incredibly realistic and moving account of how one girl refuses to accept Nazi ideology and has the courage of her own convictions An incredibly moving book which will draw readers into Anna's agaonised decision making, and provoke much discussion contributory to PSHE, considering instinct versus ideology, religion and WWII history at Key Stage 3 and above.
