Feed Thy Enemy by Sue Parritt - Book Tour
Feed Thy
Enemy
In this heart-warming narrative based on a true story, a British
airman embarks on a plan that risks it all to feed a starving, war-stricken
family.
Thirty years after serving in World War II, middle-aged Rob’s
holiday plans see an unforeseen change that leads him on a coach tour of Italy.
Struggling with post-war PTSD and depression, he reluctantly agrees to the
journey – and sparks a dream that plunges him into long-stifled memories.
Set in Europe, Sue
Parritt’s Feed Thy Enemy is an account of courage and
compassion in the face of trauma. When Rob’s flashback delves into his attempts
to save a famished family with a series of increasingly daring raids on his
army’s supply stores, will he trigger suppressed remembrances of past war, love,
and sacrifice – and find the strength to confront them in the present?
