When Twilight Breaks by Sarah Sundin

 #When Twilight Breaks# by Sarah Sundin is  a historical fiction book. Sarah  is a best selling author. She likes to write  about the World War II  era.  This story takes  place in World War II in 1938 in Munich.   Evelyn Brand is a foreign correspondent.   She  works among many men and  wants to  have a truthful   account of what is going on in Nazi  Germany.  She  wants  people  in the United  States to know how  unbelievable   the  World War II is in Germany especially with  Hitler's  approach.   As  a reporter it is very hard to tell the truth  without being told  you have to leave  the country.  I admire  her courage and  honesty in such a difficult  situation.   It  is wonderful   that she  tried to  work with  honesty and integrity.   This book is  well written. It  was hard to put down.  The  reader will feel like they are living during World War II.   This book was  given to me to read and review by the publisher Revell.  I   appreciate this opportunity to read and review
