This is a captivating and well-researched novel. I was immersed in the dangerous and heroic world of resistance fighters during Nazi-occupied Europe. The book's exploration of themes such as sacrifice, bravery, and the resilience of the human spirit resonated strongly with me.

I highly recommend it for fans of historical fiction and World War II literature.

I enjoyed the story; a bit overwrought. Book 9 of 2024

Ephemera Is the painting by Thomas Hart Benton? 1mo
BkClubCare @Ephemera - maybe?! I forgot to note it and couldn‘t find when I searched. But I do recall thinking Benton, but NO. Of course, I could be misremembering THAT, too. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo

monkeygirlsmama I'm not big on watermelon anything that isn't actual watermelon, but this flavor combo for wine intrigues me. What brand of label is it? My favorite wine is only available here during like one or two months during the summer from one particular grocery chain, it's a Hatch Chili Red and it's amazing! Sadly last summer I was freshly in the throws of grief and stocking up was the last thing on my mind. Always open to trying something new though. 🍷 2mo
monkeygirlsmama *brand OR label 2mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @monkeygirlsmama it‘s from a local winery called Magnolia Winery! My daughter got me to try it last summer. I‘ve never been much of a drinker but wanted to find some wine I like. I wouldn‘t have thought this would be a good combination but it is fabulous! I also like the plain watermelon 🍉🍷 2mo

TheAromaofBooks I've learned from working at the orchard that pear juice is frequently used as a “carrier“ of flavors for other fruit juices/wines, because it doesn't have a strong taste but is sweet. We make a blackberry pear cider at the orchard in the fall that is AMAZING. 2mo
Eggs Sounds so yummy 🤤🍷❤️ 2mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheAromaofBooks I love sweet! I have some actual pear that I haven‘t opened yet! 2mo
monkeygirlsmama @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I'll have to look it up online. 2mo

Two #Wine titles from my stacks. The tagged one I read a few years ago & the other is in my TBR. The similarity in the covers always makes me laugh.😆

TODAY‘S PROMPT: WINE

HISTORICAL FICTION - WWII - FRANCE - ROMANCE

France, wine, WWII, present day, and love - all of this wrapped into one amazing, difficult-to-put-down read.

Another marvelous, intriguing read about the resiliency and determination of the French people and the entire European population.

Courage. It‘s what Virginia and Violette harness as they navigate life during the war in Sisters of Night and Fog by Erika Robuck. It‘s a nice, long read that alternates between the lives of these women as they navigate the changes in their young lives that are significantly impacted by the invasion of the Nazi‘s. I purchased the audiobook from Audible. Narration by Caroline Hewitt is amazing!

Gripping, edge-of-your-seat storytelling from Jenoff. WWII, Brussels, Belgium 🇧🇪, this is based on an actual rescue mission. Resisters Matteo, his sister Marcheline, and widow Hannah join forces to attack a railcar bound for Auschwitz to free Hannah‘s cousin Lily and her son. Solid characters who, like us readers, are never sure who they can trust
