May we never lose the light and the power of love!It's difficult and trying times for all so before reading make sure you tell someone you love how much they mean too you. As you never know what the days ahead may hold.
Having said this I'm someone who loves a mix of history, passion, romance, and adventure and this one checks all the boxes and more.
It's a powerful historical reminder of dictators and Arian nations but also of forgiveness and rebuilding.
Hetty and Walter were meant for each other but their family and friends may have felt the opposite because of one thing-nationality. One is a Jew the other a German!
It was forbidden during those times as you could literally lose your life because of the public displays of affection.
So, how shall one overcome such hatred, such evil, such predisposed and ingrained prejudices?
Unable, to be together they depart ways and each marry others. Each carry on. Yet that spark never went out!
Kiss and Tell is perhaps an omen but yet it was reality here when Hetty marries Tomas on more a whim. A key figure in this is the fact she's pregnant and you might be surprised by the fact of who the father is and what the end result of such a pregnancy.
In the meantime, forced to give up not only her love but her life Walter must flee for safety from his country. It makes readers literally want to just wrap their arms around them all & never let them go.
When they re-unite it's with sadness and despair but also peace because the one she thought she'd meet isn't who she'll meet in the end.
WOW! No words can describe. KLEENEX highly recommended on hand during entire reading.
Thank you to Louise, the pub, NetGalley, and Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
