Once The Deed Is Done by Rachel Seiffert
Northern Germany, winter 1945. A boy named Benno sees forced labourers flee one snowy night and keeps a secret he cannot carry alone. Ruth, an English Red Cross officer newly posted to the area, runs a crowded refugee camp where whispers about that night spread. The novel quietly explores how a community's silence, children's curiosity and ordinary choices shape the aftermath of war.
