Celebrating the love story of the year – Pip’s incredible new book THE GERMAN WARD Simon & Schuster AU

ABOUT THE BOOK
An English nurse and a German doctor fall in love. He is a prisoner of war; she has never cared for rules. Their love is visceral and urgent, forbidden and doomed, and it would have gone unrecorded if not for a series of drawings found more than a century later. A luminous tale of hope in the midst of darkness.
