Once again I was transported back into history with another book by Tricia Goyer. I love the research that was done for this novel. It is obvious that the author actually went out and did her homework when writing this book. I hate historical fiction novels that just write about events that everyone knows about. Tricia Goyer’s books, however, focus on historical events that the average person does not really know. For example, if you asked the average person about the Spanish Civil War, they would probably have no idea what you are talking about. By reading her books you actually learn while enjoying a great story. I wish her books could have part of my college curriculum because I’ve learned a lot from her writing for my own history classes. There’s a lot that goes on in this book as several different characters are given time to tell their story. It’s a little confusing at first in the beginning because I was trying to remember who everyone was. But once I got past that, I really liked how everyone’s story all connected somehow. I really liked Sophie’s story especially when she finds out the truth about what really happened with Michael and what she has to do after that. I especially love stories about characters having to play spies and double agents. Finishing this book was satisfying and I totally enjoyed it. I’m highly anticipating the third book in the series to find out what happens to everyone. If you love historical fiction, you NEED to get this book.
