I have enjoyed every moment I have spent with Emmy Lake and am sad that our time together has come to and end. We are still ensconced in WWII and bombs are still being dropped on London. The Women’s Friend magazine continues to play a role in helping readers deal with the difficulties the war has brought into their lives as well as everyday concerns and questions. The characters feel like friends and I have come to care about their lives and their struggles. Emmy provides a

I love reading historical fiction books and especially those that are set during WWII. The characters are well developed and you will be drawn into the story and admire the dedication of Gianna, her father, and so many other individuals who dedicated their lives to protecting Jewish people from Hitler’s reign of terror. This particular book had a dual timeline which is something I enjoy. Traveling back in time to 1943 with Gianna as she shares her past with her daughter is em

I love reading historical fiction books and particularly if they are set during WWII. The characters are well developed and the story will grab your attention from the beginning and keep your interest. I continue to be amazed at the many people who risked their lives in order to help save the lives of people who were trying to avoid capture, imprisonment in concentration camps, or death by the hands of the Nazis. It was heartwarming to see how there were Germans who were will

I love reading historical fiction books and especially when they are set during the time period of WWI. This is also a dual timeline book which appeals to me. This particular book had a romance aspect to it and, unfortunately, was a little too mushy for my taste. A story of intrigue with a mystery that provided good historical background. I was not familiar with the Italian internment camps so I found that interesting. Overall the storyline did not grab my attention, but ther

I love reading historical fiction books and especially when they take place during WWII. The fact that this one took place in Norway was a different aspect for me. But one that I enjoyed. This was an emotional read. While the actual fighting during the war did not play a major part of the story, you will be presented with how the war and Nazi occupation affected the lives of the people of Norway. Experiencing life with Asta was heartbreaking. From moments of bravery to intens

Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres and especially when they are set during WWII. This book presents a different focus for that period of time. I was not familiar with the English fascism prevalence during WWII. When you open the book, you will be treated to a unique perspective and a rich story of family, bravery, dedication, and heartbreak. Experiencing Lucia’s life as an ambulance driver is interesting and her relationship with a young girl who she rescues foll

I love historical fiction books and especially when they take place during WWII. This book was a little different focus because it takes place in the United States. Whenever I open up a Kevin O’Brien book, I know I will be on a rollercoaster ride of twists and turns. From loss to rape to murder to fear to secrets ... you will experience a myriad of emotions. This story will have you invested from the first page and will not let go until, exhausted, you will close the book. I

I love reading historical fiction books, and especially if they are set during WWII. This book was a different twist on books from that genre and time period. The focus is on the Lebensborn Program which encouraged women to breed and produce pure-blood Aryan children. The brutality that the main character, Allina, endured had me cringing. The fact children were sacrificed because of imperfections was horrendous. While I am not a fan of romance novels, that aspect of this book

This was a different historical fiction book than I typically read. A plus for me was that it featured a dual timeline. Filled with secrets and intrigue and relationships ... there are so many details brough to life through the pages. The author has conducted an immense amount of research and the way he shares the details is presented in an informative and well-written way. Thank you to Book Sirens and Pilgrim Trout Books for my advanced review copy. All opinions and thoughts
