Hey friends! I don’t know how your winter is going, but our little corner of Virginia has just been hit with winter weather for the third weekend in a row...that made this new arrival in my mailbox even more welcome than usual!
*Summary*
Munich, 1938. Evelyn Brand is an American foreign correspondent as determined to prove her worth in a male-dominated profession as she is to expose the growing tyranny in Nazi Germany. To do so, she must walk a thin line. If she offends the government, she could be expelled from the country--or worse. If she fails to truthfully report on major stories, she'll never be able to give a voice to the oppressed--and wake up the folks back home.
In another part of the city, American graduate student Peter Lang is working on his PhD in German. Disillusioned with the chaos in the world due to the Great Depression, he is impressed with the prosperity and order of German society. But when the brutality of the regime hits close, he discovers a far better way to use his contacts within the Nazi party--to feed information to the shrewd reporter he can't get off his mind.
This electric standalone novel from fan-favorite Sarah Sundin puts you right at the intersection of pulse-pounding suspense and heart-stopping romance.

*My Thoughts*
Anyone that has read any of Sarah Sundin’s books knows she is a gifted wwll writer. She has an almost magical way of weaving stories together and blurring the lines, making you feel like you’re not reading about it, but living it. Living history. Living countless untold stories of everyday heros.
Peter and Evelyn are some of the best characters I have encountered. I loved how real and open they were, everyday people with big struggles and doubts. Peter’s desire to make his mark on the world and his battle with forgiving those who have wronged him. Evelyn’s will to be her own person and overcome the hurdles women faced in a man’s field...realizing she could depend on God always and not just in the especially hard times. Their growth throughout the story was steady and believable, a slow softening of the heart as many of us can relate to and one of the sweetest relationships to watch unfold. Nothing about this story was rushed or hurried, yet I still didn’t want it to end.
Munich, 1938...this is definitely a plot line more suspenseful than Sarah’s previous stories. Misguided people, hatred driven plots, unsuspecting victims...I often found myself either at the edge of my seat or at the edge of tears. As always, this story was well thought out and researched, artfully woven together to form a breathtaking story.
When Twilight Breaks is a treasure that should be savored and is, in my opinion, one of Sarah’s very best works. This is one novel on my bookshelf that I know will be read again and again!
