This is the second book in the series. The first one is called The Sea Before Us,
and book 3, The Land Beneath Us, is scheduled to come out in 2020. The series follows the lives of three
brothers who participate in D-Day. This
book is about Adler, the middle brother.
Adler’s been bottling up his pain for three years, since the
night he ran away from home in disgrace.
Now, he’s a fighter pilot and determined to do his part in the war. A chance meeting gives him a new friend in
Violet, a worker for the Red Cross. She
thinks she’s on her way to work with children in England, but her role is a lot
different than she imagined.
Adler and Violet end up in the same unit, but they resist
giving in to their feelings. Violet
plans on becoming a missionary in Africa, and Adler just wants to start up a
business. Violet ends up being good for
Adler, but he doesn’t want to let her too close. In his eyes, when she knows everything,
she’ll think very differently about him.
I usually like Sundin’s books, and this was no exception. Part of it is the history (I’m drawn to the
WWII era), and part is the characters. The
main characters were great, but I liked some of the supporting cast as well,
namely Nick. Sometimes the descriptions
get a little too technical for me, but you can tell the author does her
homework. I liked the tiny bit of closure
at the end, and I’m hoping for a great ending in the third book. All 3 brothers, all together – preferably
after the war!
The hardest part is going to be waiting until the third book
comes out. Poor Clay has reason to be
angry with both his brothers, and I can’t wait to read his story. Good Book!
*I received a copy of this book from Revell through
NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
