Flame of Resistance by Tracy Groot is an excellent World War
II novel about a French Resistance movement called Flame. This novel provides a little bit of a love
story, a little bit of God, a little bit of action, and a little bit of
history. Germany has invaded France and
there are numerous resistance cells all over the country. Michel Rousseua is the leader of one such
group, Flame. He’s presented with an
unusual opportunity when a Dutch-American pilot crashes in France and is
willing to be an agent for Flame. The
pilot is paired up with a young woman who has been forced into prostitution in
order to survive. Together they unravel a great story!
This was a good read, however, it was a little tough to
follow for a couple of chapters until you wrap your head around who is who. After I got a grasp of the characters, I
really enjoyed this book. It really got
me interested in WW II history and I enjoyed the author’s note at the end. This lead me to a little research on my own.
I recommend Flame of Resistance to history lovers as well as
mystery and romance readers. As I said,
it was a good read.
I was given a copy of Flame of
Resistance by Tyndale Publishing for review.
This review is my honest opinion.
