Description

Heinrich Gotthold is shot for espionage in an orchard near the small French village of Redonnay. Soon after the war his widow, Hedwig, and John Saggard, his one-time friend and eventual executioner, find themselves face to face. From an English country rectory to a Catholic seminary in Germany and an artist's studio in London, currents of love and friendship cross and double-cross as events build to an extraordinary climax. First published in 1933, THE UNFORGETTEN PRISONER brilliantly caught the tensions of its time, powerfully portraying the relationship between England and Germany in the years surrounding the First World War.
