Publisher's Synopsis
In the green mountains of central Italy, two people meet away from the horrors of conflict. David Hopkins, a young fisherman from West Wales, and Kate Medhurst, from a genteel town in the Thames Valley, embark upon an idyllic love affair. However, they cannot escape the war forever, and when they are targeted by a single enemy aeroplane, their dreams are destroyed. Weeks later, Hopkins wakes up in a Russian hospital in Vienna with no recollection of the past. Eventually repatriated to Britain, he reluctantly returns to Wales. And there, alone and haunted by the months he cannot remember, he embarks upon a journey of rediscovery...
