A World War II drama set in a land the UK forgot
December 1918 The royal navy sends a squadron of ships to the fledgling Estonian nation to aid their fight for independence. When the squadron is due to depart, a young navy officer jumps ship, sacrificing his career for the love of a woman - but the navy reclaims its own. Huw Williams is dragged back to his homeland in disgrace.
Years later, the world is at war again. Huw is scratching a living on the docks when the past comes to call. He is flung into covert operations in a land caught between two armies, and a people living under threat of instant death or deportation to oblivion in Siberia. Huw soon finds out that killers are on his track.
He joins the Forest Brothers, the partisans living secretly amongst the silver birches of Estonia. There, ghosts of his past life emerge. This is not the return to romantic dreams he had imagined. Nevertheless, an old flame rekindles, and the once embittered Huw rediscovers his desire to help save the country and the people he loves - but how can he do either, forced to live as a fugitive in the forest?

I've been doing a lot of non-fiction reading lately, trying to learn more about the circumstances under which my parents left Estonia in 1944. I've waded through a lot of material, some dealing with politics, troop movements, Europe as a battlefield, contention over the Baltic states, Russia, and more. Still, I was somehow unable to see the time andplace through more personal and local eyes. Ok, so I get that this book is a novel, and I'll bet that some license has been taken for the sake of a good story, but I read through this book from start to end, almost without a break, and felt not only entertained, but somehow filled in on the feel and mood of the time and place, and somehow more aware of my parent's own history as well. I would certainly recommend this book to other children of ex-pat Estonians, but more than that, anyone interested in a ripping novel set in an unusual and not often used locale, will enjoy this book.Product details
