New Release September 29th- The Resistance Art Club by Heidi Eljarbo

 

The tension in Europe is rising. The world is on the brink of disaster.

Oslo, 1939. Secretary Heddy Vengen spends her evenings in a basement, secretly learning how to break codes. When she assists those who evacuate art collections from the National Art Gallery, she has her first encounter with the war situation.

Only days after Hitler’s army marches down Karl Johan’s Street in Oslo, German soldiers storm into her office and make it their own, cementing Heddy’s determination to do more to oppose the occupants. Driven with a fierce desire for freedom and a deep compassion for her beautiful country and its people, she joins the resistance movement and leaps into dangerous, covert operations whenever she’s needed.

During this time, she meets Sverre, a spirited undercover fighter whose resolve is as firm as hers. Bold and seemingly fearless, he faces every mission with personal optimism and masterful skill, and over a short while, he and Heddy grow close.

My Review

The Resistance Art Club tells Heddy and Sverre's story and serves as a prequel. I loved reading their story, and it fascinated me from the beginning. I read the story in one sitting. I simply couldn't put it down.

Sverre is an outstanding character full of courage, strength, and determination to carry out the most dangerous missions. Heddy is also courageous and determined. Their story is inspirational and uplifting, especially since it is happening during WWII. As you might guess, the resistance faces dangerous conditions, suspense, and times of desperate measures.

I received a complimentary ARC from the author; a positive review is not required. All opinions are my own.
