About this listen

When Anna Harvik goes to Norway in 1946 this beautiful country is still recovering from five cruel years of Nazi Occupation. Her late husband was a pilot in the Royal Norwegian Air Force and she has come to visit his homeland and meet his family, in spite of being in doubt about how she will be received. She stays with Molly, who with other English war-brides makes her welcome. On her fist day a lawyer, Alex Ringstad, comes with what is virtually a command from her father-in-law that she accept ownership of an old house that has a unique history. In spite of many difficulties, she finds love and much more in the country that becomes her own.

Wonderful book

I’ve read all R. Laker’s novels. Great stories that also teach about the time and country she’s telling about. How they dressed and eat and customs of the time period. Always a good love story too!

Gentle story

This was a story of intelligent, reasonable people told in a gentle, loving way. Of course, they all had life’s problems to deal with, but they handled problems with much thought and the good use of time. After Anna’s husband died, she moved to Norway to see her husband’s beloved homeland. Norway becomes another character in the book, well rounded by much detail. I loved the story and felt like I was lead through these stranger's lives by an expert guide.
