Description
The Last Telegram by Liz Trenow is a powerful and evocative novel set against the backdrop of World War II. In 1930s England, Lily Verner's life is forever changed as she becomes an apprentice at her family's silk weaving factory, where the production of parachute silk takes on immense importance. As tensions rise during the war, Lily's path crosses with Stefan, a German Jewish refugee who works alongside her on the looms. Their love blossoms in the midst of hardship and suspicion, but can it survive the challenges of war? The Verner family's silk is put to the ultimate test as they navigate the complexities of loyalty, duty, and survival. This novel is a gripping tale of love, loss, and resilience, set against the stark realities of wartime England.
