Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki
A seashell and a sealed letter form a tenuous connection
to a forbidden wartime romance
1937. Simon's Town is a vibrant and diverse community in a picturesque part of
the Union of South Africa. At the heart of the town is the Royal Navy port, and
Louise Ahrendts, daughter of a shipbuilder, nurtures the idea that through hard
work she could step beyond a destiny of domestic service. She dreams of
becoming a nurse and she has the tenacity to make this dream a reality. When
the Second World War breaks out and the port becomes a hub of activity,
Louise's path crosses with that of Lieutenant David Horrocks. Despite the gulf in
their backgrounds and the expectations facing them from family on both sides,
Louise and David are determined to be together.
But as the end of the war approaches and a new troubled moment of history
dawns, will they find their way back to each other?
