Product Description

Product Description

In a sunlit, secret valley in the green mountains of central Italy, two people meet away from the horrors and clamour of battle. David Hopkins, a young fisherman from west Wales and Kate Medhurst, from a genteel town in the Thames Valley, embark upon an idyllic love affair away from the conflict that surrounds them. However, they cannot escape the war forever, and when they are targeted by a single enemy aeroplane their dreams are destroyed. Weeks later, Hopkins wakes up in a Russian hospital in Vienna where he's slowly recovering from serious wounds - with no recollection of the past. Eventually, transferred to an American hospital and then repatriated to Britain, Hopkins reluctantly returns to Wales. And there, alone and haunted by the months he cannot remember, Hopkins embarks upon a journey of rediscovery...


From the Inside Flap

In a sunlit, secret valley in the green mountains of central Italy, two people meet away from the horrors and clamour of battle. David Hopkins, a young fisherman from West Wales and Kate Medhurst from a genteel town in the Thames Valley embark upon an idyllic love affair away from the conflict that surrounds them. However, they cannot escape the war forever, and when they are targeted by a single enemy aeroplane their dreams are destroyed.

Weeks later, Hopkins wakes up in a Russian hospital in Vienna where he’s slowly recovering from serious wounds – with no recollection of the past. Eventually, transferred to an American hospital and then repatriated to Britain, Hopkins reluctantly returns to Wales.

And there, alone and haunted by the months he cannot remember, Hopkins embarks upon a journey of rediscovery… --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read and a pleasing love story, 20 Dec 2007
By TheGerbilTamer (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Soldiers and Lovers (Hardcover)
The novel, set in the last year of WW2, tells of the love affair between two soldiers - Davy Hopkins and Kate Medhurst. The brutality of war is nicely juxtaposed with the sweet relationship which develops en route to Italy. A year afterwards, Hopkins tries to piece together the events of one fateful day.

The author crafts the central characters of Hopkins and Kate extremely well and there's enough period detail to please even the most patriotic of readers. Although I'm not personally a fan of war stories, I found myself immersed in this readable book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Soldiers and Lovers, 12 Dec 2007

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Soldiers and Lovers (Hardcover)
I was a bit disappointed in this book not one of his best. I felt as though I was waiting for something to happen - in the end the book got a lot better - then it made interesting reading and would have a lot of memories for those men who were in the Army and who went to Italy Dont be put of with my comments - I look forward to hearing yours.
