The Englishman's daughter

"In the first terrifying days of World War I, a handful of British soldiers found themselves trapped behind enemy lines on the Western Front. Unable to rejoin their units, which were retreating under the German onslaught, they were forced to hide in the French countryside. The Englishman's Daughter is the extraordinary true story of these men, their rescuers, and the bittersweet love affair that sprang up between an enchanting French villager and a fugitive English soldier.

This romance flourished under the very eyes of German occupiers, resulted in the birth of a child, and eventually tore a community apart."--BOOK JACKET.
