SISTERS of NIGHT and FOG by Erika Robuck - Review & Giveaway

 

Based on true stories about two women and two countries with nothing in common, but a call to fight.

The novel, SISTERS of NIGHT and FOG (Berkley) by Erika Robuck brings together an American socialite and a British secret agent whose stunning acts of courage collide in the darkest hours of World War II.
 
1940. War has ignited, and in spite of her American family’s wishes, Virginia d’Albert-Lake decides to stay in occupied France with her French husband. She’s sure that if they keep their heads down, they’ll survive. But is surviving enough?
 
Nineteen-year-old Violette Szabo has seen the Nazis’ evil up close and is desperate to fight them. But when she meets the man who changes her life, only for tragedy to strike, Violette finds her life unanchored. Until she enters the radar of Britain’s secret war organization—the Special Operations Executive—and a new fire is ignited in her and she enlists. But how much is willing to risk?
 
As Virginia and Violette navigate the resistance, their clandestine deeds come to a staggering halt when they are brought together at Ravensbrück concentration camp. The decisions they make will change their lives, and the world, forever. 

I've always been shocked and horrified by the atrocities committed by the Nazis', but I've never read about such repulsive and revolting actions focused on women. It's taken my magnitude of hate to a new level I never realized I had.

If you're inspired to read more about these brave and heroic women, Erika includes an extensive bibliography at the end of SISTERS of NIGHT and FOG. I have increased my TBR by at least four books.

Erika Robuck is the national bestselling author of The Invisible Woman, Hemingway’s Girl, Call Me Zelda, Fallen Beauty, The House of Hawthorne, and Receive Me Falling.
