Welcome to my newest put up about Books We Love the place fellow e book bloggers and reviewers showcase books that they’ve notably loved.
I like studying edgy resistance themed conflict fiction, so right now I’m recommending Again Behind Enemy Traces by Chris Bridge which I learn a couple of years in the past.
Again Behind Enemy Traces is a historic fiction, the primary half is ready in 1944 in Normandy throughout WWII, the second half is in 2006, England.
Anna Julen is about to be parachuted into Normandy as a particular agent, she’s a part of a Particular Operations Govt and any more she is Marie-Claire Cardon, niece of Madam Desaint and milkmaid. Alone in a harmful time she should disguise her radio, mix in with the locals and begin discovering info to ship again house. She works lengthy hours, up early to exploit the cows and goats delivering milk and cheese, eyes and ears open to every part. As Marie-Claire she cycles miles observing and mapping German gun placements and actions, all the time in peril of arrest.

Everyone seems to be ready for the allied invasion, each German and resistance exercise is growing. Marie-Claire’s group assist others sabotage railway tracks and communication strains.
I liked studying about Marie-Claire, she confirmed such excessive strengths and bravado. In July the invasion got here, the frontline moved and the British got here to the rescue, Anna’s job was over. I puzzled what the remainder of the e book can be about and if it could preserve my consideration.
Half two is about Anna, it’s now her ninetieth birthday, her husband Ronnie has died, she has three grown up kids. They wish to run her life, transfer her to an previous of us house, take away her independence. However Anna resists, she’s again behind enemy strains and her previous dormant coaching re-ignites. She recruits two children to assist her and decides it’s time to put some ghosts to relaxation, re-turning to Normandy for solutions and forgiveness. Half two saved me simply as enthralled as half one and I used to be up late studying into the evening to get to the top of this glorious e book.
