The Welsh Girl by Peter Ho Davies

The Welsh Girl by Peter Ho Davies

Long-listed for the Man Booker Prize, award-winning author Peter Ho Davies's The Welsh Girl is "a beautiful, ambitious novel that takes the reader into the most personal corner of war" (New York Times bestselling author Ann Patchett), set in the stunning landscape of North Wales just after D-Day.



When a POW camp is established near her village, seventeen-year-old barmaid Esther Evans finds herself strangely drawn to the camp and its forlorn captives. She is exploring the camp boundary when the astonishing occurs: Karsten, a young German corporal, calls out to her from behind the fence. From that moment on, the two foster a secret relationship that will ultimately put them both at risk. Meanwhile, another foreigner, the German-Jewish interrogator Rotherham, travels to Wales to investigate Britain's most notorious Nazi prisoner, Rudolf Hess.



In this richly drawn and thought-provoking work, all will come to question where they belong and where their loyalties lie.
