World War II intrigue and love, compassion and rel
This was one of those books I could hardly put down. It drew me in right off the bat and held me throughout the book. Since it was published in 2013, I went looking for a sequel but was disappointed to find it hasn't been released yet!
Alison Schuyler and Ian Devlin are introduced in a very touching scene with a group of young Jewish refugees. Their love story unfolds with unexpected turns throughout the book. The intrigue comes with both Ian's undercover work during World War II and also through the art gallery belonging to Alison's Dutch family from 1939 to 1945.
There were many chapters that put me on pins and needles as the characters very lives were in jeopardy more than once. There were surprising twists and turns in the plot, many heartwarming scenes. Ian saves a little German girl while he is on the run and brings her back to his family. Alison saves the daughters of a friend, taking them out of Holland to England.
I heartily recommend this book!
