Deserter: A Novel Based on True Events
By Ann Barrie
()
About this ebook
Why would a dedicated soldier turn his back on his own country and everyone he loves? This remarkable and moving World War II novel takes the reader on a compelling journey from North Africa to Nova Scotia, from New York to Scotland, and ultimately to the extreme dangers of the Russian Arctic convoys.
Based on a true story that was given to her father, Charles M Herbert, this is New Zealand author Ann Barrie’s first novel.

I was born in Christchurch but grew up mostly in the North Island. My secondary education was at Papakura High School here in New Zealand, and Kesteven and Grantham Girls’ School in England. I have a Bachelor of Arts in French from the University of Auckland, and a Bachelor of Laws from Victoria University of Wellington. Over the past few years, since I retired from the National Library of New Zealand, I have become passionate about writing.
