My thoughts:
I am quickly falling in love with Sarah Sundin as an author. I’ve read a few of her other books and love how she makes WWII come alive. I’m particularly in love with her books on the nurses in the war! This book definitely was a great one. I loved learning about what women did in the home front during the war and a different side of the war. We as a country were at war on the waves just as much as we were in the air or on land. I loved reading how being at war on the waves really affected people at home.
And then of course we have the spy issue. Can Mary find out who the spy is without getting herself or those around her killed? While the country is at war sometimes those at home didn’t always understand it. This book brings the war home. We were at war on the waves and land here at home too! I really loved the mystery and suspense of this book and enjoyed meeting a new slew of characters. I’m looking forward to reading more of Sundin’s work!
