Daughters of War by Dinah Jefferies
4.0
4.5 stars
A beautiful story, which reminded me a lot of The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah.
The story centres around three sisters - Helene, Elise and Florence who live in the Dordogne during Nazi occupation. It was impossible not to be drawn into their story, there are some really lovely moments of true hope, as well as some incredibly gut wrenching ones.
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. Not so in this case, all of the women in this book are strong in their own ways.
I’m really looking forward to the next two books in this trilogy.
