Perfect for fans of Code Name Verity and The Girl in the Blue Coat,
Wait for Me, from debut author Caroline Leech, brings a fresh new
voice, and a perfect blend of sweet romance and historical fiction, to a
much-loved genre.
It's 1945, and Lorna Anderson's life on her father's farm in Scotland
consists of endless chores and rationing, knitting Red Cross scarves,
and praying for an Allied victory. So when Paul Vogel, a German prisoner
of war, is assigned as the new farmhand, Lorna is appalled. How can she
possibly work alongside the enemy when her own brothers are risking
their lives for their country?
But as Lorna reluctantly spends time with Paul, she feels herself
changing. The more she learns about him--from his time fighting a war he
doesn't believe in, to his life back home in Germany--the more she sees
the boy behind the soldier.
Soon Lorna is battling her own warring heart. Loving Paul could mean
losing her family and the life she's always known. With tensions rising
all around them, Lorna must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice
before the end of the war determines their fate.
