Known for "engrossing" fiction with "deftly portrayed characters,"* (KIRKUS) the author spins an intriguing story and readers may find their worldview turned inside out. The drama turns on the travails of three couples who meet in pre-war London and friendships are forged. But when war arrives, everyone is imprisoned in some fashion: Edgar is requisitioned along with his ship. He and Lily struggle to reconcile their pacifism with their role in their Government's treatment of foreign residents and refugees; Fortunato & Florence are caught between a love of Italy and visceral incompatibility with its fascist State and a life-changing decision has to be made; Günther (now captain of a U-boat) and Ingeborg must consider if their silence has become complicity in the Nazi regime's objectives. Who is really "free" to decide their destiny? Can any friendship last when war calls?
