It was told on third person’s point of view. This is a story of small lives caught between the war and its big effects on these small lives. It isn’t a story of WWII itself, it is a story of loved ones left back home by the brothers, sons or husbands who were forced to fight a war they never wanted to be part of. Although it was set at the time of WWII, there weren’t “war scenes” at all or any violence – if that’s what also you are expecting. Well, as far as I’m concerned because what happened in the war itself is another story. At first, I really thought that this might not be suitable for all readers because WWII reminds us of holocaust and holocaust is such a really sensitive issue that might trigger something on the readers. I was transported to the past again and this time it was to Scotland while World War II was still happening. What will Lorna have to give up in order to find Paul again? Ultimately, the events which bring peace to Europe will tear Lorna and Paul apart.

Lorna’s friendship with Paul, and their developing love for each other, is challenged by Lorna’s own prejudices and by the intolerance of her soldier brother and her friends in the village. Lorna, the farmer’s teenage daughter, soon discovers that in wartime, your family and your allies might not actually be your friends, and your enemy might turn out to be the love of your life. Set on a Scottish farm in the spring of 1945, Wait for Me begins as Paul, a severely burned German prisoner-of-war, is sent to the farm to work.
