Publisher's Summary
A prisoner of war's daring escape from a speeding train . . . a Greek resistance heroine's fateful decision to harbor the fugitive . . . and a young dressmaker's curiosity spark a chain of events that has consequences none of them could ever have imagined.
Peter Blunden, a New Zealand soldier captured in Crete, jumps from a train and escapes from his Nazi captors. He is taken into a safe house by Mrs. Tasoula, a dressmaker and a member of the Greek resistance movement.
She employs several young dressmakers including Thalia Christidou, who wonders why the door to a room off the living room is always locked. This arrangement works well for some time, but the Germans are everywhere and there is mounting concern that the men will be discovered.
Thalia sees them by accident, and soon Peter and Thalia become close. For a while the secret is safe. Thalia's feelings for Peter are growing, as are his for her, but both are certain that nothing can come of it so they keep their emotions in check.
But the Nazis are becoming suspicious of Mrs. Tasoula and local gossip suggests that she has something to hide—or is hiding someone.
What will Mrs Tasoula's fate be? What will become of Thalia and Peter?

A fast flowing drama of the reality of life in ww2
This well written interaction of a young women in war torn Greece and a NZ soldier of ww2 saw a 4 year love concluded as a post war bride in NZ, a true match of fulfilment of two young adults who deserved a better future together after experiencing such dramatic reality of close calls pursued by Hitlers SS.
