Book Recommendation - Chasing Shadows
Lynn Austin is one of my solid go-to's for women's fiction, historical fiction and Biblical fiction. I've read and loved every fiction piece she's written (I still need to read her non-fiction, though). This book was no different. This one takes place during WWII in the Netherlands, which was supposed to be neutral - until the Nazis invaded. This follows 3 women whose experiences of the war are different as they fight against the evil in their land. This was another 5 star read from me and if you enjoy historical fiction, I know you'll love it too!
Here's a little bit about the book:
A story of three women whose lives are instantly changed when the Nazis invade the neutral Netherlands, forcing each into a complicated dance of choice and consequence.
Lena is a wife and mother who farms alongside her husband in the tranquil countryside. Her faith has always been her compass, but can she remain steadfast when the questions grow increasingly complex and the answers could mean the difference between life and death?
Lena’s daughter Ans has recently moved to the bustling city of Leiden, filled with romantic notions of a new job and a young Dutch police officer. But when she is drawn into Resistance work, her idealism collides with the dangerous reality that comes with fighting the enemy.
Miriam is a young Jewish violinist who immigrated for the safety she thought Holland would offer. She finds love in her new country, but as her family settles in Leiden, the events that follow will test them in ways she could never have imagined.
The Nazi invasion propels these women onto paths that cross in unexpected, sometimes-heartbreaking ways. Yet the story that unfolds illuminates the surprising endurance of the human spirit and the power of faith and love to carry us through.
