The Fallen

Abruzzo, autumn 1943. Rana Ranjit Singh, a Sikh officer escaped from an Indian Army POW camp, takes refuge in a remote farmhouse. The girl who finds him at the point of a pitchfork – sixteen-year-old Zola Sabatini – and her mother Judith hide him through the German occupation. What grows between them is fierce and unspoken. When the Germans arrive at the farm, everything they have begun to build is broken in a single night. He writes to her for five years; she never replies. Now he is going back to find out why. A luminous, devastating love story from the author of the prize-shortlisted Belonging.
