**** My Review ****
If you are looking for a story that will touch your heart in many ways, that will awaken your emotions, fill your eyes with tears and make you think deeply, then you should definitely read The Resistance Girl by Jina Bacarr.
When I chose ‘The Resistance Girl’, I knew it would shake me to the core, but I was not prepared for all these emotions. I avoided it for a while, but I read it … I read it and I still can’t find the right words to be able to describe all those emotions and thoughts that flooded me …
Two exceptional women, brave and proud … two time periods, perfectly intertwined in a flawless story that masterfully tells about love, sacrifice, loyalty to loved ones, struggle…
What is the truth behind the photos? What exactly is seen and what is hidden behind the visible? Somewhere out there … hidden behind the obvious is the story of Sylvie Martone, the story her granddaughter Juliana is looking for … the story that will prove the truth …
Alternating between the past and the present, the author delivers this amazing storyline, that portrays some distant times…known but still so strange to us… Times when truths needed to be veiled under different secrets to achieving something bigger, more important… Times when liberties were more than luxury… Times of war, where the truth and realities change to suit the need. Roses and happiness are far from reach when survival clashes with integrity and honor….
With moments of intrigue and great, detailed descriptions, the book will definitely make readers visualize WW2. The alternating 1st POV narrative gives great insight into the main characters that help readers to fully understand the story.
All in all, this heart-breaking and heart-warming story is more than a perfect choice for every reader who would enjoy a thought-provoking piece of historical fiction that contains more hidden truths than many others.
