Grand Canyon — Vita Sackville-West

The Second World War has been won. Germany has conquered Britain and all of Europe, and now only America stands, protected for now by the Pacific Charter - a precarious promise of peace from the Reich.

Lester Dale and Helen Temple, two strangers united by their memories of a lost England, are staying in the Grand Canyon Hotel in Arizona amongst a variety of displaced Europeans and naive American youths. When the fragile peace eventually shatters, only Lester and Helen can take charge, and lead their fellow guests into an uncertain future.>br>br>Filled with extraordinary characters and strange twists, Grand Canyon, written during World War Two, is Vita Sackville-West's unflinching exploration of what might be, and a warning of the dangers of compromise when world peace is at stake.
