Джулия Берри4.3 Эта книга — гимн любви, над которой не властна ни война, ни время — две самые сокрушительные силы на земле.
Две истории любви, рассказанные самой Афродитой, перенесут вас во времена Первой мировой войны.
Война стала причиной, по которой они встретились. Она же их и разлучила.

Родные и близкие Коллет погибли. Над Обри нависла угроза пострашнее непрерывных бомбежек. Когда весь мир отвернулся от них, любовь послужила молодым людям утешением, но война не знает жалости и сострадания, сметая все на своем пути.
