Review:
The Whispers of War by Julia Kelly is a great historical novel. It’s featured during the Second World War. A time of danger, secrets, and heartbreak. As war goes by, a group of women stick together and keep each other safe. Their bonds are as strong as guerrilla glue. I enjoyed following these strong and independent women as their journeys unfolded. The war brought on changes and each of the, did their best to survive and to help others. I loved the ending of this tale. This was my first novel I have read by Julia Kelly and I recommend it to others.
