A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'[A] strong debut...A moving and chilling portrait of life under Nazi heel.' - Sunday Times

'The writing is beautiful. The characters' growing affinities, and the complications those relationships brings with them, make for fascinating reading.' - Cecilia Ekback, author of Wolf Winter

'Haunting... Through her characters' struggles, Lea explores the unlikely affinities that arise between humans during violent times and questions how far we might go to protect those we love.' --Australian Women's Weekly

'This is a strong and lyrical first novel, that moves adroitly from the obscenity of war to the complexities of marriages, children, loss and loneliness.' --Otago Daily Times

&apps;Debut author Lea evokes the land with the lyrical fondness of a native... A finely detailed exploration of life during wartime.' --Kirkus Reviews

Présentation de l'éditeur

Jersey, June 1940: it starts with the burning man on the beach just after the bombs land, obliterating the last shred of hope that Hitler will avert his attention from the Channel Islands. Within weeks, 12,000 German troops land on the Jersey beaches, heralding a new era of occupation. Caroline Lea's narrative follows life under German rule for four locals. When The Sky Fell Apart is a heart-breaking chorus of the resilience of the human spirit. These memorable characters take you on a journey through the war and linger with you long after the last page.
