Czechoslovakia, 1944 In the dead of night a farm girl and a British soldier creep through abandoned villages. Izabela and prisoner-of-war Bill have secretly married, and are on the run, searching for Izabela's brother and father, who are fighting the Nazis. The husband and wife have evaded capture in the countryside for a week, but when their luck runs out, they are delivered into the hands of the occupying enemy. But they have prepared for this moment, disguising Izabela as a man. The pair are transported to a POW camp and faced with living conditions far worse than those experienced by any animal on Izabela's farm. They will need the help of their fellow POWs to maintain their deception, and the gravity of the situation becomes chillingly apparent; if they are discovered, Izabela will have put not just herself and Bill in great danger, but also all the men around them. The Prisoner's Wife tells of an incredible risk, and how our deepest bonds are tested in desperate times. Bill and Izabela's is a story of love and survival, against the darkest odds"--Provided by publisher. 647 7 World War|d(1939-1945)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1939-1945|2fast 650 0 Prisoners of war|vFiction. 650 0 Escaped prisoners of war|vFiction. 650 0 Newlyweds|vFiction. 650 0 Male impersonators|vFiction. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xPrisoners and prisons, German |vFiction. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xPrisoners and prisons, British |vFiction. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xPrisoners and prisons, Czech |vFiction. 650 0 Man-woman relationships|vFiction. 650 0 Large type books. 650 7 Escaped prisoners of war.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01199998 650 7 Large type books.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00992678 650 7 Male impersonators.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01006641 650 7 Man-woman relationships.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01007080 650 7 Newlyweds.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01742953 650 7 Prisoners of war.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01077227 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 Historical fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 Romance fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01921732 655 7 War fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01922585 655 7 Historical fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Romance fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 War fiction.|2lcgft 994 C0|bGPI
