Hidden Games - in Love And War 1er édition

  Odense, August 1943. The Danes are distancing themselves from the pacifist complacency of everyday life under the German occupation, and the ensuing revolt against Germany’s superior force is rapidly unfolding. Law and order is breaking down. When the vigilante hunt for collaborators and "German-friendly girls", condescending called "Terrain-mattresses,” begins in earnest, 17-year-old Maia Niemann's secret infatuation with a German officer becomes threatening for her and her family’s life. In secret she flees to Copenhagen and moves in with her father’s sister, Mille. But Aunt Mille has secrets of her own, not the least, her involvement in the resistance movement. As the drama of war both at home and abroad deepens and Maya finds herself in an unwanted pregnancy, she seriously understood that she had broken the unspoken rules of war. She learns the art of ‘contingency lying’, but as time goes on, she is caught up in an impossible dilemma and must make crucial choices affecting her own life as well as that of her unborn baby.
