Water Song, by Suzanne Weyn (Simon Pulse, 2006)

When a young woman is stranded at her family estate in Belgium in early 1915, she’s granted a first-hand experience of the horrors of war, caught between the German and Allied forces. Shortly after rescuing an American soldier, she and her unlikely companion are taken hostage by German forces, and the shared experience forges a bond of friendship and magic between the two. Weyn’s latest entry into the “Once Upon A Time” series skillfully and imaginatively retells the Frog Prince fairy tale in an underused setting to great effect. It’s both romantic and magical, and a fun read.
