been years since i've seen it.
main character was white female-possibly young widow- in small town.
alien invasion has claimed the town and using earth rules for civilians in captured territory.
woman has no family in town.
falls in love with alien military officer.
aliens are humanoids but with scales.
one key moment that was fairly unique was one of the alien soldiers who died spent a bunch of time reading to human kids.alien soldier got a statue posthumously I believe.
human woman ends up pretending to be alien princess at the end.
both human and alien sides had a general who was overzealous and unwanted(war crimes) such that the 2 sides politicals agreed both had to die for the sake of peace.the 2 generals were basically nuked with agreement from leadership on both sides.
would have been either no sex or very little.
