James Hilton We Are Not Alone

Annotation

New York Times Bestseller: Brilliant but nave country doctor David Newcome courts tragedy when he invites a stranger into his home.In the English factory town of Calderbury, few figures are as respected as the ';little doctor' David Newcome. His talents as a surgeon attract more renown than anything else associated with the tiny village. Kind to a fault, Dr. Newcome sees no problem with housing Leni, a nineteen-year-old dancer from Germany adrift in Englandeven over the objections of his strong-willed wife, Jessica. Soon Newcome's family is torn asunder as their country and the world outside are drawn into war.We Are Not Alone is a poignant portrait of one family's trials and tribulations on the eve of the First World War.
