After spending time with her grandparents in France, 19-year-old Bonnie Renard returns to England and is about to work in her father's company. In light of Nazis forces occupying France, her father, Antoine, travels to the occupied zone to convince his elderly parents to join him and Bonnie in England. Unfortunately, his parents are mercilessly killed by Nazis, driving Antoine to the unthinkable—murder. He goes on the run and eventually joins the French Resistance. At the same time, Bonnie worries when Antoine doesn't return home. She embarks on a journey that takes her back to France, where she joins the local resistance group, hoping to avenge her recent loss. She bravely helps Jewish and British individuals escape death at the hands of the Nazis. Both father and daughter are unaware of each other's whereabouts. Will they ever reunite again? Read Under Enemy Skies by Rebecca Bryn for more.
Set in 1939, Under Enemy Skies is a thought-provoking historical novel that depicts the experiences of men and women who joined the French Resistance during World War II. It is a gripping tale that embodies the limitless heroism that average people can demonstrate in the face of adversity. This is an extremely well-written story with scenes flowing seamlessly from page to page, and the characters' development deepening as the plot progresses. I admired Bonnie and Antoine for their tenacity and gutsy resilience when the situation required them to be courageous, especially in the presence of danger. Rebecca Bryn excels in portraying real emotions through her characters. Through it all, she never loses sight of the human condition. Under Enemy Skies is perfect for fans of similar historical novels like The French Resistance and Charlotte Gray. This heartfelt tale will leave you eager for book two.
