The Lifeline ~ World War Two Sagas #3 (by Deborah Swift)

I enjoy reading historical fiction books that take place during WWII. This one was a completely different focus from most of the books I’ve read. Set in Norway and the Shetland Islands in Scotland, you will learn about the Norwegian resistance. I continue to be amazed at the individuals who were willing to sacrifice everything to fight against the horrors of Hitler’s regime. I had never heard of the “Shetland bus” and the way the ships undertook the dangers they faced from the Nazis who would exact punishment for anyone helping the refugees and the stormy seas they traversed. This story had a lot of gripping the page tension. I was physically exhausted by the time I had read the last word. This is one that will lead me to doing more research on this part of WWII. That’s a sign of a good book!
