This is a tale about two people who, though separated due to a war, are able to rekindle their love when reunited.
They have all kinds of hurdles to overcome while they slowly begin to trust in each other again.
It is an emotional and gripping story and one that I am really happy to recommend as it is very worthwhile reading.
I read an Advance Reader Copy (ARC) and this is my voluntary and unbiased review of it.
