Munich, 1938 Evelyn Brand is an American foreign correspondent determined to prove her worth in a male-dominated profession and to expose the growing tyranny in Nazi Germany. To do so, she must walk a thin line. If she offends the government, she could be expelled from the country--or worse. If she does not report truthfully, she'll betray the oppressed and fail to wake up the folks back home. Peter Lang is an American graduate student working on his PhD in German. Disillusioned with the chaos in the world due to the Great Depression, he is impressed with the prosperity and order of German society. But when the brutality of the regime hits close, he discovers a far better way to use his contacts within the Nazi party--to feed information to the shrewd reporter he can't get off his mind. As the world marches relentlessly toward war, Evelyn and Peter are on a collision course with destiny. "Sundin's novels set the gold standard for historical war romance. Arguably her most brilliant and important work to date."--Booklist starred review "Sundin is a must-buy. Her latest World War II tale positively crackles with tension."--Library Journal starred review

I first learned about WWII in Europe and the Holocaust through the lens of a children's version of Corrie ten Boom's The Hiding Place, I was about 7 or 8. I read the adult version by the time I was 10. For me, those horrible events and the heroism of people like the ten Booms are very real. As an adult I listened to a woman tell her story of witnessing Kristallnacht when she was a young German girl. Those events caused Hitler's ideology of hate to fail with her, instead she learned to love every human no matter their ethnicity, politics, or religion. Those true stories have stayed with me, and will continue to do so for the rest of my life.
And, though fictional, I suspect that When Twilight Breaks will stay with me for a long time as well. I originally picked it up only because it was a Sarah Sundin book and she is one of my favorite WWII fiction authors. I was in for a surprise when I started reading When Twilight Breaks. It's a little different in tone than most of Sarah Sundin's books, a bit darker I think, but that makes it all the more hard hitting.
I ran the gamut of emotions while reading When Twilight Breaks. The insidious hatefulness of the Nazis was hard to read sometimes, but what was even more difficult to hear was just how many Americans were fooled into admiring the regime. But, before you think this new novel from Sarah Sundin is all doom and gloom, it's not. She richly describes the scenery and traditions of Germany and the story itself is also entertaining in addition to thought provoking. When Twilight Breaks is a must read for fans of WWII fiction and of Sarah Sundin. It's riveting. It's gripping. It's real history...

You might think that the dark heaviness that this book caused to hang over me as I read was a bad thing, but in actuality it speaks to the author's skill in placing her reader in the middle of her story. Set in Germany in the year 1938 as atrocities began to multiply, as oppression was not only tolerated but encouraged, as other countries looked on, hoping to avoid war and thus ignoring the treatment of people, how could that not bring on a dark heaviness? I have to consider too, as I write this and have to avoid certain words to keep my review from being rejected on some sites, if we are in danger of forgetting, of denying what took place. I am grateful to writers such as Sarah Sundin who keep the memory alive, lest we stand back and allow something similar to ever occur again. The protagonists in this book certainly did not ignore what was happening around them, but rather risked their careers and their very lives to do what was right, as did so many real heroes.
I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of When Twilight Breaks from Revell via netgally without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
