      About This Book

      From master storyteller and psychologist, Francis King (1923-2011), comes this powerful drama of continuing antagonisms, nascent reconciliations, and obsessive love. Set in post-World War II Oxford, cousins Michael and Christine befriend a group of German prisoners camped on the outskirts of town. King's descriptions of the grimness of the lives of Germans, laboring outdoors in the bitter cold, and of the conflict between the natural humanity of the British and their desire for reparations, are etched with memorable sharpness.
