After escaping from a prisoner-of-war train, New Zealand soldier Peter Blunden finds himself dependent on strangers in Nazi-occupied Greece. Resistance worker Tasoula risks her safety to shelter him, while a young dressmaker's curiosity draws Thalia into the secret. An unlikely relationship develops under circumstances in which discovery could mean capture, betrayal or death, and neither Peter nor Thalia can easily imagine what a shared future might look like. Doug Gold draws on their true experiences to tell a story of ordinary people making extraordinary choices during occupation. Escape and resistance sit alongside an undeclared love whose possibilities are constrained by war, existing loyalties and the distance between Greece and New Zealand.
