Consumer Critique: Wolfsangel (Liza Perrat)
Most people know the basics of WWII. Nazi-controlled "evil" Germany occupies much of Europe, and the hero Allied troops beat him. Anyone who is on the side of the Germans must be a terrible person, right?
The truth is actually much more complicated, as Wolfsangel by Liza Perrat shows. A 19-year-old girl, Céleste Roussel, is torn between love and patriotism - between helping the French Resistance and between her love for a German officer. This novel is a great value - $3.99 for Kindle - for such a stirring portrayal of the choices many people in occupied countries actually faced. Right and wrong weren't so clear cut for those actually in Europe at the time, Germans, occupied countries, or Allies. This book does a good job of humanizing the "bad guys" and giving the reader a strong sense of empathy for the choices Céleste makes.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
