The Element of Water

Stevie Davies

A resonant love story, The Element Of Water follows Isolde, a young teacher who chances upon her father's Nazi past.

As the past unfolds, we learn about the lives of two inseperable boys growing up in pre-war Germany. Yet as the long shadow of Nazism dominates their lives, one becomes an officer in the SS and the other a pawn of the system.

Thirteen years after the war, their children meet. The dark past of their forebears threatens to stand in the way of the pair's love for one another.

The Element Of Water was chosen by actress Nia Roberts as her Welsh book of choice.

《水之元素》是一個蕩氣回腸的愛情故事，講述了年輕女教師伊索爾特偶然發現她父親的納粹史的故事。

揭開塵封的過去，我們了解到生長在戰前德國的兩個小男孩的生活。他們原本形影不離，但當納粹的陰影長期籠罩著他們生活的時候，他們一個成了納粹黨衛軍的軍官，另一個則成為了該制度的爪牙。

戰爭結束三十年后，他們的子女相遇了。然而他們父輩的陰暗過去卻成了擋在他們愛情道路上的屏障。

《水之元素》被女演員Nina Roberts（奈爾·羅伯茨）選為她的威爾士優選書籍。
