Wonderful story and characters!

Reviewed by an Amazon user, February 19, 2007
A beautifully written novel that takes place near the end of WW II, in Wales, where a group of German POWs are being held. The title refers to Esther Evans, a young woman who lives with her widowed father on a nearby sheep farm. One of the POWs, Karsten Simmering, a corporal with feelings of guilt for surrendering to the British, struggles to maintain his humanity. The book has many fascinating characters with an underlying theme of home and belonging. A story not soon forgotten.
