The Morning Gift by Eva Ibbotson is a wonderful novel about a young girl forced into a marriage so she can escape Vienna after the Nazis invaded. The story then follows her life in England. While the romance between Quin and Ruth is sparse, it is powerful when shown. The novel is mostly about Ruth's life and her courage to go on after being forced to leave her lifelong home. Ruth's story of self discovery and love is one I will definitely recommend this novel to friends.
