When Twilight Breaks by Sarah Sundin

 

Book Synopsis

               Munich, 1938. Evelyn Brand is an American foreign correspondent as determined to prove her worth in a male-dominated profession as she is to expose the growing tyranny in Nazi Germany. To do so, she must walk a thin line. If she offends the government, she could be expelled from the country--or worse. If she fails to truthfully report on major stories, she'll never be able to give a voice to the oppressed--and wake up the folks back home.

In another part of the city, American graduate student Peter Lang is working on his PhD in German. Disillusioned with the chaos in the world due to the Great Depression, he is impressed with the prosperity and order of German society. But when the brutality of the regime hits close, he discovers a far better way to use his contacts within the Nazi party--to feed information to the shrewd reporter he can't get off his mind.

This electric standalone novel from fan-favorite Sarah Sundin puts you right at the intersection of pulse-pounding suspense and heart-stopping romance.    

My thoughts:

I had heard so many wonderful things about this book, so I decided to find out for myself how good it is.  Oh my, am I glad that I did.  This is another fantastic novel by Ms. Sundin.  It’s been quite awhile since I picked up a book penned by her and I could kick myself for waiting so long, but this was well worth the time spent with the incredibly well-crafted characters.

I quickly got caught up in the story of Evelyn Brand, Peter Lang and the people in their lives.  There is a lot of sadness in the book, as you can well imagine, given the time period.  There are also some nail-biting scenes that are blended with hardships and faith.  When Twilight Breaks, is a must-read book, which is why I highly recommend it to historical fiction fans and those that love a well written, interesting read.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher.  All opinions are completely my own.
