Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki
December1918
Thisfirst peacetime Christmas should be perfect.
Butthis is a ceasefire, not peace. Influenza ravages Europe and the hospital suppliesSophie ordered six months ago have not arrived from Australia.
Andthe old woman in Ward 3 will not stop knitting.
Yeteven in war-torn Europe, Christmas miracles are possible, as a stranger revealsthe extraordinary story of how thousands of female resistance workers sentcoded messages, including the most important message a woman can send.
Andsomehow Christmas does arrive, the perfect Christmas, with love from Miss Lily.
