Bucharest, 1940. The city is frozen in anticipation of invasion. Guy and Harriet Pringle feel the threat to their situation more and more acutely. Harriet searches for safety, while Guy views what’s happening with idealistic detachment and, in doing so, only intensifies her fear. When the Germans enter Bucharest, the couple must be separated; in a desperate attempt to find a secure refuge, Harriet leaves for Athens. In the second novel of the “Balkan Trilogy,” her once-lost and now rediscovered masterpiece, Olivia Manning gives us a dramatic and colorful portrait of a city ravaged by the storm of war—and of a young couple trying to preserve their marriage under the pressure of calamities.
