book blurb - On the Run from One Enemy. At the Mercy of Another.
Whew!
The Last Green Valley by Mark Sullivan follows Emil and Adeline Martel. It's late March 1944. Stalin's pushed into Ukraine. Do they wait for this intrusion and the chance of being sent to Siberia. Or do they follow the wolves - murderous Nazi officers who have pledged to protect "pure blood Germans?
This book is well researched and keeps the pages turning. It's a tough, brutal, complex tale. How to survive? How to keep hopes of immigrating west alive? It's hard work to find freedom.
This story starts in 1944. I found it very sad in one regard - are we going backward from progress made after WWII? Lots to think about.
