Take your average love story. Now take it back a few years. The 1940s. The climax of World War II. Throw in a river of tears, an ocean of blood and a heart too broken to mend. Myriam had a perfectly ordinary life. Or at least she thought she did. When her sister and her are hauled off to a concentration camp, she is forced to bid farewell to that chapter of her life. But when she meets Alexander, a charming young solider, it is the beginning of a novel.
