The romantic forested landscape of southwest Germany is the setting
for the birth of a friendship that will haunt sixteen-year-old Hans
Schwarz for the rest of his life. Hans is Jewish, the son of a
doctor who is confident that the rise of the Nazis is only 'a
temporary illness' afflicting his beloved country. Hans's new
classmate, Konradin von Hohenfels, is a dazzling young aristocrat
whose mother keeps a portrait of Hitler on her dressing-table. Hans
is immediately drawn to Konradin, and thrilled when a close bond
forms between them, forged by common interests that set them apart
from the other boys. But their loyalties are soon tested in ways
they could not have imagined. Three decades later, from the vantage
point of New York City, Hans once again confronts this life-shaping
episode from his youth, through a stunning revelation that he
stumbles upon by chance. In its story of friendship undone by
History, Reunion combines the explosive compression of a fable with
the emotional depth of an epic novel many times its length.
The fourth and final novel in the Neylor Quartet, by Sunday Times
bestselling author Katie Flynn, writing as Judith Saxton Hitler's
war is reaching out to affect every member of the Neylor family.
Val Neylor, driving an ambulance through the blazing heart of
London, is in an impossible position, for the man she loves is a
fighter pilot with the Luftwaffe. And Jenny, whose husband Simon is
flying Spitfires, finds herself working as a landgirl on a Devon
farm. Cara, by contrast, develops her social life, and Maudie, in
the WAAF, falls in love with two men at once ... And Tina,
matriarch of the family loves them all, scolds them all, and tries
to understand the new generation growing up in the troubled times
of war. A warm and moving family saga set in Britain caught in the
torment of the Second World War.
Theo Lawder and Zac Bonneval meet in the army at the outbreak of
World War II. They survive the horror of Dunkirk and become lovers.
Theo goes to work at Bletchley Park, where he becomes friendly with
Alan Turing. After the war he joins the Foreign Office, while Zac
works for MI6. They make a good life together. But this is a time
when homosexuals are criminalised, and the pressure of being
outcasts in society takes a terrible toll. Zac becomes deeply
depressed and goes away. Can their love survive society's hatred?
