The Emerald Sisters #3
Kate Hewitt
Reviewed by Helen
I am loving this series, emotional and showing courage and strength. Hannah Lerner and her younger sister Lotte have arrived in France after being on the SS St Louis for months turned away from Havana and their father, and now Hannah is separated from her three friends she made on the ship but she has the sliver of emerald that holds them together and they will meet up again one day, but for now she and Lotte must do what they can to stay safe and find a place to stay.
War is imminent, and when Hannah goes to send a telegram to her father Lotte is taken into care of a group of people who care for orphan children, Hannah is devastated and makes haste to find her sister she realizes that maybe they can keep her safer there but she promises to that they will be together one day.
Roaming the streets Hannah has nowhere to go and tiredness see her fall asleep on a park bench when she is rescued by a Frenchman Michal who takes her to his family home where she soon is feeling comfortable and her heart is opening to Michal.
But war takes Michal to the frontline and soon Hannah is fleeing the Nazis as they learn that she is half Jewish, but sheer determination sees Hannah soon helping the Resistance, times are dangerous and very hard and Hannah has no idea if Michal is alive and of course there is the worry of her sister, but when she hears that there is a plot to take the children Hannah does the only thing she can her and a friend risk their lives to save the children, will they be successful?
A fabulous story that had me turning the pages, my heart thumping and cheering Hannah on the strength she shows is awesome, will she find love, will her and Lotte ever be safe and will the Emerald sisters meet as they had planned too?
I do highly recommend this one and the series.
My thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for my copy to read and review.
