Synopsis Author
1944. After the fall of Russia and the failed D-Day landings, half of Britain is occupied . . . Young farmer's wife Sarah Lewis wakes to find her husband has disappeared, along with all of the men from her remote Welsh village. A German patrol arrives in the valley, the purpose of their mission a mystery. Sarah begins a faltering acquaintance with the patrol's commanding officer, Albrecht, and it is to her that he reveals the purpose of his mission - to claim an extraordinary medieval art treasure that lies hidden in the valley. But as the pressure of the war beyond presses in on this isolated community, this fragile state of harmony is increasingly threatened.

Owen Sheers

"I genuinely think that at the end of your writing life, if you can say that you've written two or three true poems, that's a pretty good hit."

“Resistance”

Although not the type of book I'd normally buy (my authors of choice being Jonathan Carroll, Christopher Priest and Roddy Doyle), Resistance won me over from the first page. I cannot praise this novel highly... More
