Book Review of Chasing Shadows

Chasing Shadows
Helpful Score: 1


There are not enough adequate words to describe what a wonderful book this was to read. While I normally tend to write rather long reviews, I will leave you to discover and experience this book for yourself. I assure you â it will be well worth your time. I have been surprisingly obsessed with WWII fiction this year, and each book I read seems to surpass the quality of the last. Lynn Austin has written a real treasure of a book against a haunting backdrop of war. There were moments of deep grief, pain, and tears, and times when I needed to put it down for a few moments before continuing. I hope and pray this type of history never repeats itself, but yet thankful for the brave men and women who fought against tyranny and evil when faced with it. 5 stars were never more well deserved than for a book such as this one.
