Three generations of women fight to protect their home during the Nazi occupation of France.
A compelling read that tells of the harsh realities faced by the French during the occupation through the perspectives of Gabrielle, Helene, and Josephine.
A gripping read, Gabrielle takes on the responsibilities of her family head on as she fights for her family's future, she is courageous and daring, not shying away from the hard things. I admired her faith and bravery. Josephine is the family matriarch, she knows that her memories are failing her, but she is determined through faith and shear will power to fight the Nazis every step of the way. I was most sympathetic towards Helene, though very different from her daughter and mother-in-law, she faced harsh truths and fought back in her own way. I think that the author did a great job of portraying Helene and everything she went through, as well as Paulette.
Overall, an inspiring read full of faith that brings to life the sacrifices that brave women and men made to fight for their country. A book well worth the read, with courageous heroines, strong faith, and a compelling story.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
