A ROSE FOR THE RESISTANCE by ANGELA K COUCH is the best WW11 novel I have read in a while. Not only is it a gripping story of courage in adversity, with plenty of intrigue, suspense and a poignant romance, but there is a strong Christian message of hope and redemption running through the chaos. This is the first novel I have read by this author and it most definitely will not be the last. Family dynamics and loyalty are dealt with, together with betrayal, jealousy and the ongoing problem of who to trust.
Franz Kafka is not your ordinary German soldier, as Rosalie Barrieau finds out when he helps her and her brother Marcel hide an injured British airman. He also literally has their back as they work for the Resistance.
The characters are very realistically portrayed and I like the way the author takes us through their hopes and fears as they live through such a horrific time in history.
I found A Rose for the Resistance a worthwhile and inspirational read and cannot recommend it highly enough.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Barbour Publishing. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
