Flu Review - Sisters of Night and Fog by Erika Robuck

Sisters of Night and Fog was a beautifully written story about how bravery manifests in people, especially in underrated people.

The author began her work showing the lives of two very different women as Germany occupies France in WWII, and while reading about the everyday struggles of these two women was engaging, the real beauty of the story comes when both women join the war effort. Virginia, the American married to a Frenchman, abstained from fighting the Germans, but as she sees her new country being ravished, she cannot sit by and do nothing. Her bravery grows to the point where she willingly defies the Nazis and helps soldiers escape the country. Violette, a woman with French and English blood, is desperate to return to France and destroy the German army. She is headstrong and too ambitious for her own good, but she will learn the price of war, and that resistance is not always glamorous.

The book was a wonderful read and one that I will be recommending to people for a long time. It was engaging, heartwarming, heartbreaking, and beautiful.
