Simply Love

A novel that gives voice to an atrocious reality.

The innocence of adolescence set against the backdrop of World War II. Daily life for Anna and her family in their little village is strangely calm and idyllic. One day, walking home from school, she sees the most handsome man that she has ever laid eyes on. He smiles at her and offers her the flower that he holds in his hand. Anna knows that she has met her soulmate. There is only one problem: Anna is German and Ilya, her blue-eyed soulmate, is a Russian prisoner under SS supervision. Anna will be exposed to the dark side of the war, and reality will prove itself to be too terrible for love.
