Another book that I received recently to review is called When Twilight Breaks by Sarah Sundin. This one is set at the beginning of WWII, the story of an American journalist named Evelyn who is a foreign correspondent in Germany. During her time there, she meets professor Peter Lang, another American who is working on his PhD in German. Peter, initially, is impressed by the Nazi party and their ability to maintain order and a prosperous, orderly society, while Evelyn sees the horror that it would bring about. It doesn't take long, however, for Peter's views of the Nazis to drastically change. Evelyn and Peter strike up a friendship, and Peter uses his connections to the Nazi party to feed her information. Together, they find themselves in danger as the world finds itself on the brink of a war.
This novel was engaging and definitely had a way of keeping you reading. It was interesting reading a WWII story that happens in Germany itself, and at the beginning, before the war officially begins. Was the story realistic? Probably not. But the author draws you in and makes you hope for the best for the characters that you meet. She wrote a good story, one that keeps you reading. If you enjoy novels based in historic times, specifically WWII, you'll enjoy this book!
