Hearts of Resistance

By: Soraya M. Lane

Narrated by: Elizabeth Knowelden

At the height of World War II, three women must come together to fight for freedom, for the men they love - and for each other.

When Hazel is given the chance to parachute into Nazi-occupied France, she seizes the opportunity to do more for the British war effort than file paperwork. Alongside her childhood friend, French-born Rose, she quickly rises up the ranks of the freedom fighters. For Rose, the Resistance is a link to her late husband, and a way to move forward without him. What starts out as helping downed airmen becomes a bigger cause when they meet Sophia, a German escapee and fierce critic of Hitler who is wanted by the Gestapo. Together the three women form a bond that will last a lifetime.

But amid the turmoil and tragedy of warfare, all three risk losing everything - and everyone - they hold dear. Will their united front be strong enough to see them through?

Great story with inspiring women.

I enjoyed the characters and story. The narration was a little sing songy for me.

Hearts of Resistance

This author had my strong attention right from the beginning of the book. The main characters were strong women. One admired their character and the way they were portrayed. Though I wanted to know the end of their stories I hated for the book to end. It leaves one thinking about these women and the trials of helping with the Resistance in World War II for a long time I believe.

Worth it!

I always know I like a book if I miss it when I’m not reading/listening - and that was the case here! I love heroine(s) themes and am a sucker for feel-good moments and this has both. The writing becomes a bit redundant, which was my major hiccup in the story.

I never leave bad reviews (but am trying to write more reviews, as they are so helpful in making my purchasing choices) and hate saying this, but the narration wasn’t my favorite. I almost gave up in the beginning because of the dramatics. Yes, it’s war and that IS dramatic, but its all the time, annoying and made the story almost hard to follow (draws it out unnecessarily). That said, she does a great job with accents, it’s easy to keep track of the characters and her voice IS pretty.

Overall, it’s enjoyable, exciting and touching - totally worth it!

wonderful book!

Wonderful, courageous characters and told in a way that I didn't want to stop listening. This was a great book of courage, tragedy, friendship, and love.

Sad that its over.

Loved this from the start. The narrator's voice was almost mesmerizing. Engaging and intersting story, beautifully told.
