Die Liebe in Zeiten des Krieges: ein wunderbarer Sehnsuchtsroman. Die 17-jährige Felix meldet sich freiwillig als Krankenschwester im spanischen Bürgerkrieg und hofft, dort Nat wieder zu treffen, der für die Internationalen Brigaden kämpft und in den sie sich zu Hause in London Hals über Kopf verliebt hat. Doch da ist auch noch George, den sie schon seit Ewigkeiten kennt und der schon fast genauso lang in sie verliebt ist. George macht sich aus Sorge um Felix ebenfalls auf den Weg nach Spanien. Ein hinreißender Liebesroman vor großartiger Kulisse, voller Leidenschaft, Hingabe und überwältigender Gefühle. Ein Konflikt zwischen Idealismus und Realität, berührend wie „Der englische Patient“.

Paris, 1871. Four young people will rewrite their destinies. Paris is in revolt. After months of siege at the hands of the Prussians, a wind of change is blowing through the city, bringing with it murmurs of a new revolution. Alone and poverty-stricken, sixteen-year-old Zephyrine is quickly lured in by the ideals of the city's radical new government, and she finds herself swept away by its promises of freedom, hope, equality and rights for women. But she is about to fall in love for a second time, following a fateful encounter with a young violinist. Anatole's passion for his music is soon swiftly matched only by his passion for this fierce and magnificent girl. He comes to believe in Zephyrine's new politics - but his friends are not so sure. Opera-singer Marie and photographer Jules have desires of their own, and the harsh reality of life under the Commune is not quite as enticing for them as it seems to be for Anatole and Zephyrine. And when the violent reality of revolution comes crashing down at all their feet, can they face the danger together - or will they be forced to choose where their hearts really lie?

Sixteen-year-old Peggy has been putting on a brave face since the fall of France, but now the enemy is overhead, and the rules are changing all the time. Staying on the right side of the law proves harder than she expects when a plane crash-lands in the Marsh: it's Peggy who finds its pathetic, broken pilot; and a young Polish man, Henryk.
