From the Back Cover

Two tales of love

Two stories of loss

One great emotional journey

1992: Leo Deakin wakes up in hospital somewhere in South America. His girlfriend Eleni is dead and Leo doesn t know where he is or how she died. He blames himself for the tragedy and is sucked into a spiral of despair. But Leo is about to discover something that will change his life for ever.

1917: Moritz Daniecki has survived fighting in the Great War. But at what cost? Abandoned in the Siberian wilderness, he is determined to return to his beloved Lotte, the memory of whose single kiss has sustained him throughout the war. What lies before him is a terrifying journey over the Russian Steppes. If he ever makes it, will she still be waiting?

Emotional, Heartbreaking romantic novel.
3 Stars
Emotional, Heartbreaking romantic novel.
Emotional, Heartbreaking romantic novel. There are two stories in this book. One is about Moritz Daniecki, a young Jewish boy during the First World War; the other is a modern day story about Leo Deakin who tragically loses his girlfriend in a bus accident.It focusses on the two men affected by grief and their ways of coping.It shows the power and strength that love can have on a person.I enjoyed the historical story more it was fascinating and moving, the modern day one less so.A compelling read with a surprise at the end.This book was recommended to me and I would have never given it a second glance usually had me in tears.
