'An absorbing and engaging tale of wartime bravery and endurance.
Bill and Izabela are such tenderly drawn characters ... I loved
it!' RACHEL HORE, author of Last Letter Home and The Memory Garden
_______________________________ Their love is a death sentence. But
can it keep them alive? Czechoslovakia, 1944. In the dead of night,
a farm girl and a British soldier creep through abandoned villages.
Secretly married and on the run, Bill and Izabela are searching for
Izabela's brother and father, who are fighting for the Czech
resistance. They know their luck will not last. Captured by the
German army, it seems they must be separated - but they have
prepared for this moment. By cutting her hair and pretending to be
mute, Izabela successfully disguises herself as a British soldier.
Together, they face the terrible conditions of a POW camp, reliant
on the help of their fellow POWs to maintain their fragile
deception. Their situation is beyond dangerous. If Izabela is
discovered, she and Bill - and all the men who helped them - will
face lethal consequences. _______________________________ A novel
set in war-torn Czechoslovakia amid the extreme privations of a
prisoner of war camp, based on a true story of passion, heroism and
a love that transcends overwhelming odds.

the heart of what it is to be human. A heart-rending story

The Prisoner's Wife is an unputdownable novel ... finely crafted,
atmospheric, often nail-biting.' BEN KANE, author of The Eagles of
Rome series 'A story of danger, fear, determination and the

Britain 1939 to 1945 and The Blitz: The British Under Attack. 'A

wealth of authentic detail makes it feel like a memoir ... I feel
enriched to have read it.' GILL PAUL, author of The Lost Daughter
