The Girl from Normandy (by Rachel Sweasey)

I love reading historical fiction books, and especially those that take place during WWII. Then the fact it has a dual timeline always appeals to me. This particular book was a little different than the books I typically read in this genre. While there are some emotionally difficult moments in the book, you do not experience the typical horrors of the concentration camps. There are scary incidents and the work that the resistance workers do to help stop Hitler’s reign of terror is admirable. This is a story of love, loss, courage, family, commitment, and secrets. Watching Marie-Clair grow and mature through the pages was inspiring. There is a wonderful twist at the end that had tears streaming down my face. This is definitely a book to get lost in as you journey with Marie-Claire, Esther, and the people who become family.
