Description

Sophie Braithwaite and her daughter Wynne are preparing to welcome a distant cousin, Franz von Heiden, from Nazi Germany. As the threat of war looms across England in 1938, the Braithwaites must navigate their own relationships and values in the face of uncertainty. Franz, initially stiff and formal, slowly warms to the kindness and informality of his cousins, particularly Wynne. As the war breaks out and Franz returns to Germany, Wynne waits anxiously to learn his fate. This poignant and humorous novel, first published in 1940, offers a unique glimpse into the early days of World War II. The new edition includes previously unpublished letters between the author and her publishers, providing a fascinating insight into the historic moment at which the novel was written and published.
