The Daring Girls of Guernsey: A Novel of World War II | Gayle Callen

2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read

From USA Today bestselling author Gayle Callen comes a fascinating historical novel of three courageous young women who aid a desperate British spy during the German occupation of Guernsey Island in World War II. In 1940, Germany seizes control of Guernsey without a fight - but not without resistance. Innocent young teacher Catherine is forced to house a German officer. Shrewd waitress Betty seeks to elude the persistent Nazi determined to conquer her. And courageous nurse Helen cares for her patients - both British and German - while hiding a British spy in her seaside cottage. Their fight against the injustices being enacted on their island home brings the women, the spy, and their enemies together in one night that will change all of their lives forever. Though none of them could foresee that the battle they fought that night would reach across time to 1997, when the tragic fallout ensnares Helen once more.

The Daring Girls of Guernsey: A Novel of World War II | Gayle Callen

pick

Audiobook. Needed a book with a beach on the cover for my library‘s book challenge & then @Eggs reviewed this HF about Guernsey, which I would love to visit. The story of 3 young women during the German WW2 occupation who want to make a difference in the war. A little suspenseful towards the end; I really wanted to know what was going to happen. Wasn‘t sure about the ending at first, but now I think it was a good way to tie things up.

Eggs Wonderful to hear! Glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏻 9mo
