My thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to read an advance copy of this book in return for an honest review.

What can I say about this book? Except that I could not put it down from the moment I started reading it.

Full of suspense, mystery, intrigue, romance,, as well as soaring and beautiful descriptions of the Dordogne area of France, Daughters Of The War will get you gripped from the first to the last page.

Helene, Elise and Florence are sisters, living in Sainte Cecile, a village on the Dordogne area of France. France is at war, the Nazis control the entire country. He
Helene has had to be mother and father to her sisters since their mother left them there for England seven years earlier. Unable to return to England, the sisters make a life for themselves. Their lives seem far removed from the actual front line, yet all of their lives will be touched and changed by the war.
Each will have to make decisions, hard decisions that will impact their lives irrevocably.
There are a.so secrets from the past which will come back to impact them in devastating ways.

The descriptions of the loveliness of the area took me to those places. I sat and watched as Florence dug her garden, as Helene tended to patients, as Elise worked in her cafe, really a cover for the resistance. The beauty of France in stark contrast to the horror of war and its effects on ordinary people will stay on my mind for a long time.

This is the first in a series, recounting the lives of the three sisters. I greatly look forward to reading the next book in this series.

I was so excited to see this pop up on Netgalley!

Reading what it was about really made me intrigued. And I was not disappointed! Within a day I read the whole thing and what a roller coaster.

The sisters are amazing, their individual stories are really fascinating and you learn about interesting characters like Jack and Victor and even Anton. Nothing is as it seems! Some really surprising stuff in there and it’s fresh! It’s like a tv show, so many ups and downs and hurdles and heartbreak. Just bloody fantastic! Really recommend this book and giving it a rare five stars from me!
