Like everyone in France, they resent the Germans presence, and can’t wait for the allies to arrive and the war to end. I like Dinah Jefferies books, my main gripe with them being that sometimes the female characters are a bit weak and too reliant on men to save them.Ik blijf me nog steeds afvragen hoe het met hen is afgelopen, maar misschien komt dit in het tweede deel? Het verhaal speelt zich af in 1944 aan de vooravond van de landing van de geallieerden in Normandië. Dinah Jefferies has done it again, the book is well written and I'm so excited that it’s part of a series, and I can’t wait until the next book is published and discover what else happens to Helene, Elise and Florence and especially after France has been liberated by the American's. are vibrant, active women who are passionate about community service, preserving history, educating children, as well as honoring and supporting those who serve our nation.

Daughters of War: (The Daughters of War Book 1) by Dinah

As a teenager she missed the heat of Malaysia, which left her with a kind of restlessness that led to quite an unusual life. Her mother always told her she wasn't pretty but she loves her sisters and takes care of them by becoming a nurse even though her first love is painting. Via Hélène en Elise, beide stadsmensen, wandelen we doorheen de smalle straatjes en zien we de oude traditionele winkeltjes, smidse, herberg,… Florence houdt van de natuur en gelooft in de elfjes die in de bossen wonen, via haar zal de lezer zien hoe mooi de natuur van de Dordogne is.It is Hugo, the local doctor, and his wife Marie, who initially experience the realities of life under the Nazis. Another strength of the book is its descriptions of the landscape of the Dordogne, a gift surely to the area’s tourist board. They live down a quiet laneway not far from the village of Sainte Cecile but it was almost as if they existed in another world in their farmhouse. Drawing in threads of mystery, intrigue, emotional drama, social ties, hardship and romance, Dinah Jefferies has composed an expansive novel.
