The books title is taken from the poem by Michael Drayton (1563-1631) which is at the beginning of the book. Bates makes it clear that there is always some good in all evil, even war. Yet while looking for help he found a wonderful family, and if that had not happened then Franklin would never have been able to meet Francoise. Franklin had crashed his plane and his arm was severely damaged. Bates wanted to show that within all the horrors of war, two people were able to find love and happiness.
I felt that the books purpose was very clear. The novel deals with love, war, isolation and conflict although there is no specific theme to the book.
The story follows the main character, John Franklin, through his journey when he brings his aircraft down into occupied France. Bates is a Romance Fiction set at the height of World War Two.
