Two young women determined to live. One intrepid freedom fighter. Their common enemy the Gestapo slowly extending their hold on this remote corner of Montafon, turning people against each other, those who have lived as neighbors for generations. A question of survival by whatever means.
The story of two women, one with no experience of mountain climbing, one man who perishes, and the determination to succeed the grueling hike over the Alps, hard enough normally, now hit by a freak snowstorm and a avalanche. Beating the odds the two women escape and Felix has to return home to a Gestapo who is looking out for him.
Stories set with the theme of resistance are always brave adventures, so much of risks taken but the need to survive overtakes all. This was no exception. Very well told.
