In Love and War: A Short Novel by Chris McClelland (Provo Canyon Review Press) (22 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

In Love and War is the moving story of two young people in love at the cusp of adulthood and America's entry into WW II. Inga, a German girl, and Mack, an American pilot. "A debut drama, set before and during World War II, which explores the distinction between friend and foe... Author McClelland deftly follows several characters whose lives are involuntarily turned upside down by war and who are compelled to fight. He provocatively raises profound questions about how one defines and compartmentalizes allies and enemies and the ways in which duty forces one to make difficult decisions... McClelland's unembellished prose is confident and self-assured throughout, and the subject matter is as philosophically challenging as it is emotionally poignant. A sharp, moving reflection on how love can survive even the greatest trials."--Kirkus Reviews
