“a nice read...engaging, empathic story set in a Welsh town, the site of a German POW camp during WW ll. The novel mines the reasons and consequences of war
on a personal level among the German prisoners, a pregnant farmer girl, her father's hatred of the English occupiers and the compromises we make to live and love. Below concepts of bravery, cowardice, Fatherland, and nationalism is cynefin-a sheep's innate sense of place and likewise-a people's connection to their origins. ”
