Madeleine Perin and her siblings are doing what they can to fight back against the Nazi occupation of France, working with the resistance along with their former neighbor Daniel Raymond.
A stirring friends-to-lovers romance based loosely on a true story of hope and resilience in wartime. An engaging read, with likable protagonists who have known each other since childhood. I loved the closeness and support between the Perin siblings and their mother, pulling together and leaning on their faith in difficult times. I liked the chemistry and playfulness between Madeleine and Daniel, as well as their new closeness at a shared faith.
Hopeful and faith filled Christmas novella, heartwarming and compelling plot, with high stakes in Lyon, France. Madeleine is quick thinking and charismatic, devoted to her family, her faith and the children at the school. I liked that Daniel was a close family friend, and how he took care with how he came forward after what happened in his own personal life, as well as his care for others.
Overall, a satisfying Christmas novella full of faith, hope, love and family!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
