Trespasses — Carolyn Bridgwood

You have to love good more than you hate evil, otherwise there's no point in our being alive....

When Kitty Conway is orphaned at the age of eight, she is sent to live with her aunt and uncle, who live with their six children in a state of eccentric chaos in the English countryside. Gradually seduced by their idyllic, charming world, Kitty shares her cousins' belief that the duality of good and evil is as simple as black and white.

But as the clouds of fascism gather over Europe and the innocence of childhood fades, the first stirrings of dissent begin to divide the family. The war will scatter them all across Europe, and no one will remain unchanged. As ever, Kitty tries to stem the tide of history and keep everyone safe. And in the end, it is only her hard won independence that can unite the family that war threatens to destroy forever....

A rich World War II-era saga of lost innocence and crushed dreams, TRESPASSES traces the journey of one courageous woman and her determination to hold on to the family she loves against impossible odds.
