We Fly Beneath the Stars

De: Suzanne Kelman

Narrado por: Lauryn Allman

Europe, 1942: Based on the true story of a female-only bomber battalion, this is a totally heartbreaking and unforgettable story about sacrifice, sisterhood, and a love that transcends war.

When the love of Tasha’s life, Luca, joins the air force to fight against the evil Nazi invaders, she knows she has to follow her heart—and him—into battle. Headstrong, impulsive, and a daredevil, she’s the perfect recruit.

Tasha’s sensible older sister, Nadia, plans only to stop Tasha’s madness and bring her home. But a chance encounter puts her in a plane, soaring above the clouds, and she also finds her calling.

Underestimated by their superiors, Nadia and her sister find themselves in airplanes barely fit to fly, being sent on perilous missions with little hope of return. But before long their battalion is being nicknamed "the Night Witches" by the Nazis, their ownership of the skies second to none.

But danger is up in the storm clouds with them, and when both sisters are shot down behind Nazi enemy lines and taken to a brutal prison camp, they expect to never see their beloved homeland again.

Until Tasha’s eyes meet across the wire fence with someone she never expected to see again: the love of her life, Luca.

But with love comes peril.... Will one sister have to sacrifice everything to save the other?

Not my favorite by this author

This story felt like it missed the mark for me. I very much enjoyed ALL the other WWII novels by this author. “When We Were Brave” was incredible.

I found myself distracted and disengaged with the story. Was it the narrator or the story itself? Not sure. I listened at 1.3-1.4 speed. The ending made me cry and I liked the characters. However the book didn’t offer much more information about the Night Witches than what you can read on Wikipedia.

Could not make it to the end.

I love books about World War 2 and was looking forward to reading "We Fly Beneath the Stars" but I am sorry that wasted my time and money for the book. None of the characters were very likeable and the story seemed far fetch. This may be a book you want to give a pass.

emotionally gripping

This story had me so emotionally involved. A truly outstanding book. I was so attached to all the characters. A great historical account.

A Totally Amazing and Interesting Must Read !!
