Welcome to Litsy!

I really dont want to pan it but I found the story lacked depth. I found Lana to be rather whiny, childish, not too bright and in no way capable of pulling off what her character was supposed to be doing. The story was choppy and really had no continuity. I had many "oh we are doing/feeling this now?? That makes no sense!!" moments. It just skipped around without transition. It was an easy read but I didnt feel a good one.

A fictional account of The French Resistance during WWII. The audio is very well done.

Next up in audio: “A Mother‘s Promise”

Review is up on my blog. Check it out

Lana lost everything the night the Gestapo shot her husband because he was hiding a Jewish child in his piano, and she also lost her unborn child because of the shock.

She had to avenge her husband's death, and an opportunity arose - The French Resistance.

LANA'S WAR is very well written, well-researched, flows nicely, and pulls you in with Ms. Abril's writing style and story line. 5/5

Beautiful story! Told from Lana‘s perspective, which I love books that are told from a single perspective. What is the most tragic day in her life ends up propelling her into a life she would have never expected for herself as a resistance spy. Lana is such a wonderful character who reminds me of myself being strong, independent & a little stubborn at times. Highly recommend this for WWII historical fiction lovers!

I liked this one a lot. This author is really good at telling a story.

Lana is pregnant and witnesses her husband being murdered by a Gestapo agent while trying to protect a child. This leads her to working as an undercover agent for the Resistance and helping to get Jews out of France.
