Harper C.: Five Book Friday: Uncanny Graphic Novels (0 comment)
We are in the thick of winter here in the Pacific Northwest, which means it's dark, damp, and chilly. Rather than escaping to stories with warmer, brighter climates, I personally want nothing more than to dive deep into gothic and uncanny fiction as the wind rattles my windows at night...

Synopsis

"Profoundly moving."--Jennifer Robson

Two women, two countries. Nothing in common but a call to fight.

A heart-stopping new novel based on the extraordinary true stories of an American socialite and a British secret agent whose stunning acts of courage collide in the darkest hours of World War II.

1940. In a world newly burning with war, and in spite of her American family's wishes, Virginia d'Albert-Lake decides to stay in occupied France with her French husband. She's sure that if they keep their heads down, they'll survive. But is surviving enough?

Nineteen-year-old Violette Szabo has seen the Nazis' evil up close and is desperate to fight them. But when she meets the man who'll change her life only for tragedy to strike, Violette's adrift. Until she enters the radar of Britain's secret war organization--the Special Operations Executive--and a new fire is lit in her as she decides just how much she's willing to risk to enlist.

As Virginia and Violette navigate resistance, their clandestine deeds come to a staggering halt when they are brought together at Ravensbr ck concentration camp.

The decisions they make will change their lives, and the world, forever.

We meet Virginia, an American in Paris and married to a French man. We meet Violette, a British and French citizen who marries a French man. Both are strong women based on real people and who want to do more for the war effort than staying home. They both want to help their country fight the Nazis. SISTERS OF NIGHT AND FOG begins with chapters of details about Virginia and Violette. As the war rages on, we learn of what they did. Virginia saved downed airmen, and Violette went on dangerous missions in France to help rid her beloved country of the Germans. They both end up being arrested and sent to Ravensbruck. You will feel the tension as we find out how the resistance carried out dangerous tasks - some successfully others not successfully. SISTERS OF NIGHT AND FOG is well written, marvelously researched, heartbreaking, and will have you devouring every page. You will love the two main characters and admire their strength, loyalty, and determination. 4/5 This book was given to me by the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review.
