by Anita ShreveI was pleased to find that my assumption was wrong--there still is a way to put a new spin on World War 2. Shreve proved it with Resistance.
An English bomber bound for Germany crashes in a town in Nazi-occupied Belgium. The pilot survives. A married couple in the Resistance takes him in and the wife nurses him back to health in the attic hideaway.
The different perspectives Shreve shows through the characters give the story a unique feel. However, I was dismayed to find that in the second half of the book it turned into a torrid love affair. I was so hoping she would leave that out and still tell a gripping story.
General consensus: Decent but could have been a stamp on the soul.
