When Twilight Breaks
by Sarah Sundin
| -From Goodreads- 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. ISBN-13: 9780800736361 Can they live long enough to do the right thing? I first learned about WWII in Europe and the Holocaust through the lens of a children's version of Corrie ten Boom's The Hiding Place, I was about 7 or 8. I read the adult version by the time I was 10. For me, those horrible events and the heroism of people like the ten Booms are very real. As an adult I listened to a woman tell her story of witnessing Kristallnacht when she was a young German girl. Those events caused Hitler's ideology of hate to fail with her, instead she learned to love every human no matter their ethnicity, politics, or religion. Those true stories have stayed with me, and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. |  This Book received a 5 Bark rating.

And, though fictional, I suspect that When Twilight Breaks will stay with me for a long time as well. I originally picked it up only because it was a Sarah Sundin book and she is one of my favorite WWII fiction authors. I was in for a surprise when I started reading When Twilight Breaks. It's a little different in tone than most of Sarah Sundin's books, a bit darker I think, but that makes it all the more hard hitting.
I ran the gamut of emotions while reading When Twilight Breaks. The insidious hatefulness of the Nazis was hard to read sometimes, but what was even more difficult to hear was just how many Americans were fooled into admiring the regime. But, before you think this new novel from Sarah Sundin is all doom and gloom, it's not. She richly describes the scenery and traditions of Germany and the story itself is also entertaining in addition to thought provoking. When Twilight Breaks is a must read for fans of WWII fiction and of Sarah Sundin. It's riveting. It's gripping. It's real history...
