Product Description
This novel, an epic nostalgia of World War II, is a love/espionage story about Zack Derream, Harvard-educated attorney and OSS officer, and Karlana Leyte, Dutch Resistance, who met and fought the war and their own constraints of love and death in World War II German-occupied Holland. Zack, Karlana, and Karl, another Dutch agent, met Maquis agents in France. Zack was captured and tortured and blamed Karl, a suspected Nazi. Zack and Karlana struggled with fears of detection, rape, killing, and betrayal only to discover that their post-war domestic adjustment and Zack’s success as a trial lawyer were as difficult and tragic as World War II. 1943-53 were years of war, love, court trials, domestic bliss, and Zack’s rejection of Donna Longson, daughter of his boss. 1954-56— “A Paradox of Love and War”—were years of doubt, Zack’s obsession with traitor Karl, and a family tragedy, all of which overwhelmed the sentiments of love and compatibility and Zack’s and Karlana’s conflicted emotional attempts to return From Whence They Fell.
