BEYOND THE CLOUDS is the third novel in the Women of Midtown series by ELIZABETH CAMDEN, but it can easily stand alone. It is a story of second chances, bravery, and unconditional love against the horrific backdrop of WW1.
Delia Byrne and Fynn Delaney grow up together in an orphanage where they fall in love, making plans for the future. Finn is not afraid of anything whereas Delia is naturally timid. Finn lets Delia down and she settles for a safe job as a paralegal while he becomes a pilot, fighting the Germans even before America joins the war. He is shot down over Belgium and his spectacular escape, albeit with a damaged leg, makes the news.
Delia is a pacifist who works for the Commission for the Relief of Belgium. When Bertie Houver brings Finn in to the CRB, hoping his hero status will encourage donations, Delia and Finn work closely together…….
When they end up in occupied Belgium, we see how the war has changed them both. We also see how their faith in God has grown…….
I am not going to tell you any more for fear of spoiling things for you.
I cannot recommend this exciting and inspirational book strongly enough.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
