Resistance by Owen Sheers
"Resistance" opens in 1944, as the women of a small Welsh farming community wake one morning to find that their husbands have gone. Soon after that a German patrol arrives in their valley. In his hugely anticipated debut novel, Owen Sheers has produced a beautifully imagined and powerfully moving story of love and loss.
"'This remarkable first novel is.. a brilliant and sometimes frightening thriller, and a mature exploration of human blur and compromise.' Jan Morris, Guardian"
