The Sound of Light by Sarah Sundin

 

When the Germans march into Denmark, Baron Henrik Ahlefeldt exchanges his nobility for anonymity, assuming a new identity so he can secretly row messages for the Danish Resistance across the waters to Sweden.

American physicist Dr. Else Jensen refuses to leave Copenhagen and abandon her research--her life's dream. While printing resistance newspapers, she hears stories of the movement's legendary Havmand--the merman--and wonders if the mysterious and silent shipyard worker living in the same boardinghouse has something to hide.

When the Occupation cracks down on the Danes, these two passionate people will discover if there is more power in speech . . . or in silence. Bestselling author of more than a dozen WWII novels, Sarah Sundin offers pens another story of ordinary people responding to extraordinary circumstances with faith, fortitude, and hope for a brighter future.

My Review

 

I loved this new read, and was delighted to find a preview for a new book at the end!

This is a love story, of Country, of freedom, of ones fellowmen, and between Else and Hendrik, and it did not disappoint.

I've read several WWII stories lately, but this was the first that takes place in Denmark, and I loved how the author wove this read, using a Baron and a Scientist!

As I was reading, I found I was holding my breath as danger entered, and as these caring people do all they can to thwart the evil that has landed in their Country!

You don't want to miss this one, and now I can't wait for the next!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Revell, and was not required to give a positive review.
