At a house party beside Georgian Bay, on the eve of war, Victoria Treloar of London is attracted to poet Grant Giovanelli from Toronto. The next day, at a castle in Germany, Clara Dunsmuir of New Brunswick marries her fianc\u00e9 Peter von Metternich, thus barely escaping internment as an enemy alien. Throughout the war, Clara and her best friend Tatiana Miloslavsky secretly help Tati\u2019s husband Klaus to save refugees, then carry out the bomb attack on Hitler in 1944. Grant Giovanelli fights U-boats in the North Atlantic, his brother Jack parachutes on a commando mission into occupied France. A wild ride through history and imagination that is underpinned by the reality of Hitler, Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt plotting their separate wars that nearly ruined the world.<\/p>\n
