Fallen Hero G L Vernon

"Fallen Hero" is a historical tale with added twists. Comedy, tragedy, excitement and, at its heart, a heart-warming romance. This feel-good book captures the drama of a world looking to recover from the ravages of conflict. In the closing days of the first world war Sep Breitner, a wounded Austrian soldier is captured by the British. As he recovers from his mental and physical scars, he relives his life spent in the idyllic alpine landscape of his childhood. His tales captivate Nurse Susan Jones. She is struggling to come to terms with a future that holds little promise for her, or many other women like her who seized the opportunity to carry out vital war work, only to find themselves facing a bleak future of redundancy and a return to domestic servitude. Their relationship blossoms - only for forces beyond their control to intervene.
