The Reading Room - The Out of the Blue Affair

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Oh my, angst and friendship and hurt and comfort and ... Napoleon and Illya ...
Can you really resist a story that opens like this?

Deep in the snow and far away lay a silent prison camp. Freezing inmates wrapped in layers of clothes and blankets eked out their meager rations and endured the back-breaking drudgery. In the small hours of the morning, a prisoner huddled on the top bunk in a hut with many other imprisoned souls. Lost in thought, blue eyes saw only the world of before, circled with the darkness of despair.

Jan Beckwith gives us a picture of despair but then, as in all things MFU, the determination of friendship against harrowing circumstances.
