Laddar... When We Were Braveav Karla M. Jay
![]() Ingen/inga Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. ![]() ![]() "A man's true wealth is the good he does in this world." Such powerful and moving stories of three distinct World War II characters. There's the SS Officer struggling with a very heavy conscience desiring to right what's so very wrong. Then there's a sweet young Jewish boy, artistically gifted and seeking glimmers of light through the deepening darkness. Lastly, there's the German-American struggling with prejudice, suspicion and persecution. I was moved by Ms. Jay's rich prose. She deftly and delicately handles some rather dark material and spins cinematic harrowing narratives. The reader's senses are on heightened alert as each is brought to attention at times throughout the book. The writing is thoroughly engaging as one is transported back to the war years. Ms. Jay's historic research is extensive and spot on! This is a book of journeys - physical as much as spiritual and psychological. Many scenes within this book are difficult and troubling. Yet, there are those which are tender, heartfelt and at times heartbreaking. All is brought to a satisfying and enriching conclusion. I am grateful to author Karla M. Jay and Book Circle Press for having provided a free copy of this e-book through Goodreads First Reads. Their generosity, however, did not influence this review - the words of which are mine alone. When We Were Brave by Karla M. Jay is a must read for anyone interested in the history of Germany, America and World War II. Fascinating historical fiction based on the facts of World War II, Germany‘s Final Solution, American responses, and how people were affected by the action or non action of others. This book focuses on three main families and how their lives impact others. It delves into the war, the lives, the suffering and faith of both Individuals and nations. While not a Jewish or Christian book it is written with a Judeo Christian perspective. I thought this book was an excellent example of how God orders our steps. In the reader‘s guide part of a question was: what would you be willing to do? Today so many still suffer under various socialist rulers and the questions remain the same. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. I appreciate the opportunity and thank the author and publisher for allowing me to read, enjoy and review this book. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
In WHEN WE WERE BRAVE, we find a conflicted SS officer, Wilhelm Falk, who risks everything to escape the Wehrmacht and get out the message about the death camps. Izaak is a young Jewish boy whose positive outlook is challenged daily as each new perilous situation comes along. American citizens, Herbert Müller and his family, are sent back to the hellish landscape of Germany because of the DNA coursing through their veins. In the panorama of World War II, these are the high-stakes plots and endearing characters whose braided fates we pray will work out in the end. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
