The novel begins in 1940, as the world is on the brink of war. In England, we meet Evelyn, a young woman who is engaged to be married to a wealthy man she does not love. In Germany, we meet Hilde, a young woman who is a member of the Nazi Youth. As the war begins, Evelyn and Hilde's lives are forever changed.

Evelyn is evacuated to the countryside, where she meets a young American soldier named Jack. Jack is everything that Evelyn's fiancé is not: he is kind, compassionate, and funny. Evelyn and Jack fall in love, but their relationship is forbidden. As the war rages on, Evelyn and Jack must find a way to be together, even as the world around them is falling apart.

Hilde, meanwhile, is torn between her loyalty to her country and her growing doubts about the Nazi regime. As she witnesses the horrors of the war, Hilde begins to question everything she has ever believed. She meets a young Jewish man named David, and together they find solace in each other's company. As the war draws to a close, Hilde must make a choice: will she stay loyal to the Nazi regime, or will she follow her heart and stand up for what she believes in?

Half the World Away is a beautifully written and deeply moving novel that explores the themes of love, loss, and redemption. With its rich characters and unforgettable story, this is a novel that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
