In this book Harry shares his memoirs from just after the
end of the Second World War. Harry is now twenty-two and was ready for peace.
He has spent the last four years in the RAF as a wireless operator. Living in
Hamburg and with no desire to return back to his hometown in Yorkshire, knowing
there is nothing for him there anymore, Harry meets and falls in love with a
young German girl called Friede and in this book their remarkable love story is
told.
The war may be over but prejudices are still high and
romance does not run smoothly for the young sweethearts, from two completely
different cultures divided by war. Can they fight to stay together and be
together against the church and the government?
I was really looking forward to reading this book after
reading Harry book 1923: A memoir Lies and Testaments, which I really enjoyed
and found really interesting and I was not disappointed with this book. A
wonderful romantic story, about two people in love that are thrown obstacles in
their way to keep them apart.
This to me personally is the best way to learn social
history, by authors like Harry, who have wrote down and shared their own true
life personal experiences all about what real life was really like and how they
lived it. This is a fascinating story. I really admire Harry’s determination to
be with the woman he loves. This book is an excellent read.
