🎉When three notable authors come together to write a WWII historical fiction novel, it's certainly not something I can ignore! Having read 2 books each by @kristina.mcmorris and @susanmeissnerauthor that I absolutely reveled in, I knew I was in for a treat with this one. To boot, @ariel.lawhon has been on my TBR shelf forever, so wow did I luck out🤗!
🙈I am incredibly embarrassed that I knew so little about The Phillipines' plight during WWII. Little did I understand that there was an ongoing battle between the US and Japan for control of these very strategically placed islands.
❤️So not only was I educated on this disquieting history, but what a story! The loyalty and devotion these women exhibited to each other and to their calling was so inspiring - their bravery, astounding. I was glued to the page as Eleanor, Penny, and Lita navigated their horrific and unexpected realities as part of the group of the first female WWII POWs.
👏This novel was as eye-opening as it was gripping and I, for one, can't wait until these gals join together for another compelling novel!
🙏🏼Many thanks to @tlcbooktours for including me on this fabulous book tour!
