In 2020, I decided to systematically revisit my older review posts and update them. On Thursdays, I’ll be re-sharing a few of these great reads. Today, I’m re-sharing a review of an inspirational and memorable historical fiction, Resistance Women by Jennifer Chiaverini.
I’m linking up today with Davida @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog for #throwbackthursday.

My Summary:
“Mildred Fish, an American College graduate, meets the love of her life, Arvid Harnack. After they fall in love, they marry and make their home in Arvid’s homeland of Germany. Mildred and Arvid thrive there, forming new friendships, and enjoying the intellectual and artistic offerings of 1930s Berlin. As Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party become more popular and powerful, Mildred and Arvid and their friends are compelled to resist. For years, Mildred and Arvid and their cohorts risk their lives to gather intelligence to bring down the Third Reich from within. Sadly, their sincere efforts don’t result in the help they desired or envisioned. This is a story of everyday people who, while they should be enjoying their carefree youth, give their best efforts to fighting evil and saving their country.”
A well-researched, quiet, character-driven story….

QOTD:
Have you read Resistance Women or is it on your TBR?
I like seeing the buildup of WW2 in books! Great review.
Thanks! I learned a lot!
I enjoyed this one, too! I want to read more of her books!
It’s a memorable read!
Ive got to call on you for a HF rec prior to 1800, but this one sounds good too!
One histfic before 1800 is Hamnet!
Books set in the early years of the Nazi regime are usually very atmospheric.
It was certainly interesting to watch it evolve.
I have not read this one, so I am off to check out your review. This sounds like a great choice for a throwback.
Thanks for reading my review Carla!
