Reviews
“Samantha Grosser skilfully weaves a well-crafted, opportunist love story set during the penultimate year of World War II.”
“Amid the horrific inhumanity that unfolds around him, the battles that (Tom) and his lover fight are markedly different, yet equally searching.”
Venue Magazine, 1-10 December, 2006
“meticulously researched story”
“unflinching, sympathetic treatment of the situation of an unmarried mother”
“feels like it could have been written back in 1945″
“the language and local colour have an authentic ring and there are echoes of Boys Own-style adventure stories, and even, in places, Nevil Shute’s good old fashioned storytelling.”
Big Issue in the North, 20 November, 2006
“a good story well told”
“gripping and….well researched”
