Je suis morte dans le troisième mois du froid extrême. Portant des vêtements légers, le visage couvert de givre, mon cadavre figé. Après ma mort, j'ai vu ma famille que j'aimais profondément, tous rassemblés autour du meurtrier. Mon père a dit: « N'aie pas peur, ce n'est pas ta faute si elle est morte. » Ma mère a dit: « Notre chère fille a souffert, mais ce n'est pas grave, j'ai toujours toi, qui est encore plus comme une fille que ma vraie. » Mon frère a dit: « Cette femme est enfin morte, je ne reconnais que toi comme ma sœur! » Mon petit ami a dit: « Maintenant, nous pouvons enfin être ensemble ouvertement. » Dans une douleur et une colère écrasantes, j'ai ouvert les yeux, seulement pour revenir au jour où j'ai été ramenée à la maison.

Until he crashlands on the Wynne Farm near St Anne, Alderney, Edmund Bolton will have insisted the most prudent thing about himself is his medical degree and his willingness to fight fascists. But of course it’s that island, and that farm – and that family. Aidan Wynne is tortured by the shame of others and tormented by a freedom he feels he can never possess. Until the handsome military doctor with far too much understanding and far too little self-preservation comes to turn his life on its head. The war makes fighters of all affected, but none so much as the lovers and those who must love quietly.

"Once more into the fray, into the last good fight I’ll ever know. Live and die on this day, live and die on this day." Fray is created by Li Walt, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.
