In April 1940, as the Nazis march into Denmark, Sydney Brant, a wealthy girl of the Dundee summer colony, marries a gifted Danish pianist, Laurus Moss. They believe they are well matched, as young lovers do, but Laurus´s beloved family is in Copenhagen, hostage to what the fortunes of Hitler´s war will bring. By the time the war is over, Laurus´s family has played an active role in Denmark´s grassroots rescue of virtually all seven thousand of the country´s Jews. Meanwhile, in America, Sydney has led a group knitting for the war effort, and had a baby.

Combining the story of one long American twentieth-century marriage with one of the most stirring stories of World War II, Leeway Cottage is a beautifully written tour de force of a novel.
