By April 1916, the fervor that accompanied war's outbreak has faded. In its place is a grim reality. Throughout Germany, essentials are rationed. Hope, too, is in short supply.

Still, through Anna's prompting, he rediscovers his passion for music. But as Anna discovers more about the conflict's escalating brutality--and Bruno's role in it--she realizes how impossible it will be for any of them to escape the war unscathed ...- Subjects: Historical fiction.; War fiction.; Blind; Dogs; Dogs; Guide dogs; Jewish soldiers; Man-woman relationships; Nurses; World War, 1914-1918;
