Helpful Score: 5
Sheers is an award-winning poet and this is his first novel. He takes the premise of 'what if' England had lost the war and been taken over by Germany - a very fascinating premise! The writing is superb. The ending is ambiguous. I like my endings to make everything clear and tie up all loose ends. This book does not do that. But it was still very worthwhile reading. I would like to read it again and pull out many passages to keep in my journal. His descriptions are masterful. The book takes place in a totally secluded valley in Wales, where the wives have awakened to find that all their husbands have disappeared, and the running of their farms is left to them.
