Novella written in 1942 as propoganda to assist the Allied war effot. This book humanizes 'the other side' and probes the effects of invasion on both the conquerors and the conquered, providing a moving look at the moral/ethical consequences of war. Captivating, thought-provoking and just as relevant today as it was 65 years ago. 112 pages-- each one of them worth it.

Newly released in paperback, this novel from the author of 'The Danish Girl' and 'Pasadena' is a spellbinding work of literary suspense, set against the history of the Mormon Church that combines historical fiction with modern-day mystery. Fascinating historical and present- day account of fundamentalist Mormons. I found myself searching the internet often for more information while reading this book. Memorable, and highly educational.

Great for all ages!
