Embers in the London Sky by Sarah Sundin, Book Review

Book Summary:

As the German army invades the Netherlands in 1940, Aleida van der Zee Martens escapes to London to wait out the Occupation. Separated from her three-year-old son, Theo, in the process, the young widow desperately searches for her little boy even as she works for an agency responsible for evacuating children to the countryside.

When German bombs set London ablaze, BBC radio correspondent Hugh Collingwood reports on the Blitz, eager to boost morale while walking the fine line between truth and censorship. But the Germans are not the only ones Londoners have to fear as a series of murders flame up amid the ashes.

The deaths hit close to home for Hugh, and Aleida needs his help to locate her missing son. As they work together, they grow closer and closer, both to each other and the answers they seek. But with bombs falling and continued killings, they may be running out of time.

My Review:

Sundin is a powerful storyteller who packs an emotional and heartrending punch. Her eloquently told story will tug on your heartstrings and keep you reading until the very end. In fact, when I was done reading I found I still wanted more because it was that amazing. I adored Aleida and her inner strength. She never gave up, she was kind and thoughtful towards others. Hugh was a delight and I could not get enough of his enthusiasm and goodness. A loving and powerful story set during WWII in London, Embers in the London Sky is a must read for historical christian fiction fans.

Happy Reading!!!
