Description
Fields of Orange: A True Welsh Love Story tells the remarkable tale of Johanna Francis and her husband Bob, whose love story spans decades despite financial difficulties and war-torn Europe.
Johanna's life was marked by extraordinary circumstances from an early age. Born in Amsterdam to a family with strong philosophical roots, she witnessed the Nazi occupation firsthand and played a role in the resistance movement. After the war, she met Bob, a penniless Welsh farmer, and they married just two days later.
Despite their financial struggles, Johanna and Bob's relationship only deepened over time. Their story is one of devotion and resilience, set against the backdrop of World War II and the post-war period. This beautifully told love story has been compiled from interviews with Johanna Francis herself, offering a unique glimpse into her remarkable life.
