My Summary:

I’m linking up with Davida @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog for #ThrowbackThursday.

In April of 1937, the small town of Guernica, Spain was bombed. Robards writes the imagined story of seventeen-year-old Sibi, her siblings, and her mother who lived there at the time. Grif, an American military attaché rescues Sibi from the rubble. Sibi knows aircraft and recognizes that it was the Germans who bombed their town. This knowledge puts her in danger as she and two surviving siblings make their way to Germany to live with their father. As WW11 rages, Sibi joins the resistance movement and works with Grif.

“As the eldest, upon whose thin shoulders the cares of the family consistently fell, Sibi never had the luxury of being shy or frail.”

This story is inspired by Picasso’s masterpiece, Guernica.
