No Man’s Land Series, book 1
Wallhausen, Germany, 1942
This novel of love, war and enduring hope chronicles one young woman’s heart-wrenching tale of duty and resistance through her journey from innocence to determined courage till the war’s final moment and aftermath. It is also the story of Fahnrich family and all what they faced during these hard times.
My thoughts:
I had resistance accepting to review this book at first, having read so many WW11 stories set in the European theater in the past I thought “Sky on Fire” would rehash the same old thing. I was wrong, “Sky on Fire” may be set during the war and will evidently touch many sad events that occurred but the license liberty taken by the author brought a nice spin to this terrible time by plunging us deep into the hearts of a German family and telling us what it was like for the German population to be caught in the middle of a raging war and being scared to lose a loved ones even their own life.
It is a nice but sad story that mosey along at a steady pace and weave a wonderfully heartfelt story of love and lost. This is definitely a character driven story that will touch you to the core and will bring out mix feelings of sadness, anxiety and joy. I was pulled in from the start and stayed riveted till the last page.
This story is well said and well done.
I wish to thank the author and Netgalley for providing access to this wonderful book.
