A WWII-era Welsh barmaid begins a secret relationship with a German POW in this "beautiful" novel by the author of
A Lie Someone Told You About Yourself(Ann Patchett).
Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize
Set in the stunning landscape of North Wales just after D-Day, this critically acclaimed debut novel traces the intersection of disparate lives in wartime. When a prisoner-of-war camp is established near her village, seventeen-year-old barmaid Esther Evans finds herself strangely drawn to the camp and its forlorn captives. She is exploring the camp boundary when an astonishing thing occurs: A young German corporal calls out to her from behind the fence. From that moment on, the two begin an unlikely-and perilous-romance.
Meanwhile, a German-Jewish interrogator travels to Wales to investigate Britain's most notorious Nazi prisoner, Rudolf Hess. In this richly drawn and thought-provoking "tour de force," all will come to question the meaning of love, family, loyalty, and national identity (
The New Yorker).
"If you loved
The English Patient, there's probably a place in your heart for
The Welsh Girl." -
USA Today
"Davies's characters are marvelously nuanced." -
Los Angeles Times
"Beautifully conjures a place and its people, in an extraordinary time... A rare gem." -Claire Messud, author of
The Woman Upstairs
"This first novel by Davies, author of two highly praised short story collections, has been anticipated-and, with its wonderfully drawn characters, it has been worth the wait." -
