This is an absolutely beautifully-written novel. It tells the story of Rose, a young girl who starts work as a land girl in the second world war. She's engaged to an old family friend, but her heart's not in it, and when she meets a young Czech soldier, she finally realises what it means to fall in love. But of course the war intervenes and throws obstacle after obstacle in the way...
By the end of this book, I had been through every emotion imaginable. It's a truly touching, moving story and I would recommend it to anyone. I found the descriptions of the time particularly good - the author has really conjured up the feel of the era and you get the feeling a lot of research went into writing it. Definitely recommended!
