The snow hare / by Lichtarowicz, Paula,author.;
"Lena has lived a long, quiet life on her farm in Wales, with her husband and child at her side. But as her end approaches, memories long buried begin to return. Of her childhood in 1930s Poland, when she was determined to become a doctor. Of the first days of her marriage, reluctant wife to an army officer. Of the birth of her daughter, whose arrival changed everything. Memories less welcome return to her, too.

And buried in that blinding snow, amongst the darkness of survival, the most fragile memory of all: that of an unspeakably tender new love"--

Last Hope Island : Britain, occupied Europe, and the brotherhood that helped turn the tide of war / by Olson, Lynne,author.;

The lone hold-out against Hitler's offensive, Britain became a beacon of hope to the rest of Europe, as prominent European leaders like French general Charles De Gaulle, Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, and King Haakon of Norway competed for Winston Churchill's attention while trying to rule their embattled countries from the precarious safety of 'Last Hope Island'"--
