I am a huge fan of Kate Hewitt and was so excited to read this book!

The story is set in Austria at the time of World War II. The Eder sisters each find a way to navigate their way through the trauma and awfulness of this time period. The realities of this time period are so hard to understand but the author tells the story in such a way that I can learn about this period and find strength from it.

I really enjoyed the character of the mom and her strength and resolve as the world was falling apart. I also learned more about Corrie iTenboom and her families role in the war.

Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

I will share to my blog (www.kroosreadsandreviews.Blogspot.com) and to bookbub.

This was such a beautiful Historical Fiction novel! WoW! The writing just blew me away! And the story simply amazing! I'm new to Kate's books but I think I found my new HF author!
Thank You NetGalley Pub and Kate for this advance ebook!

The Edelweiss Sisters by Kate Hewitt is an excellent WWII-era historical fiction novel that I enjoyed immensely.

I have been a fan of Kate Hewitt for a while now, so I was super excited to know she came out with a new HF. I really enjoyed this book.

It is a bit unique in that it takes place in Austria during WWII and focuses on what the people of that country experienced and how they were affected by the horrific changes and occupation. I really liked that aspect.

This focuses on three sisters: Johanna, Birgit and Lotte Eder and their joint story as well as their individual stories. I won’t delve too deep on the plot, as I do not want to spoil anything for the readers, but the cast of characters were fantastic. There was adventure, suspense, mystery, passion, romance, gripping moments, and I loved every minute of it. These women, and so many others, went through so much, and I really appreciate being able to read this story.

5/5 stars
