A debut novel set in 1944 war-torn Czechoslovakia amid the extreme
privations of a prisoner of war camp. Based on a true story, passion,
heroism and a love that transcends overwhelming odds.
In the dead of night a farm girl and a British soldier creep through
abandoned villages. Izabela and prisoner-of-war Bill have secretly
married and are on the run, searching for Izabela’s brother and father,
who are fighting the Nazis as partisans. They’ve evaded capture in the
countryside for a week, but when their luck runs out, they are
delivered into the hands of the occupying enemy, the German army.
But they have prepared for this moment. Izabela’s hair has been shorn
and, pretending to be unable to speak, she is assumed to be a mute
young British soldier. The pair are transported to a POW camp and faced
with living conditions far worse than those experienced by any animal
on Izabela’s farm. They will need the help of their fellow POWs to
maintain their deception, and the gravity of the situation becomes
chillingly apparent; if they are discovered, Izabela will have put not
just herself and Bill in great danger, but also all the men around them.
The Prisoner’s Wife tells of an incredible risk, and how our deepest
bonds are tested in desperate times. Bill and Izabela’s is a story of
love, and survival, against the darkest odds.
Based on a true story, and researched extensively by the author on
location in Eastern Europe, this is a story that takes the reader deep
into a rarely-seen side of the Second World War.
