Waiting for AnyaA village high in the mountains on the French-Spanish border seems relatively untouched by World War II.

When a German garrison is stationed in his village to stem the flow of people escaping over the border, Jo finds that his life, and the lives of others, depends on how well he keeps his dangerous secret. |
