Review:
Sound of Light by Sarah Sundin is one of the best historical fiction novels. I love how this story focused on the Danish people and their time during the second world war. These group of brave, strong, and good people went out of their way to help. The time period was brilliantly crafted. I can feel the tensions and fear rising around me. The characters put everything on the line. Sound of Light shows us what a group of people can do despite the horrible circumstances. I have read so many stories taking place in the usual countries. This is one focused on Denmark. I am glad Sarah Sundin chose to write this book. The past came to life once again. It was an extraordinary adventure. One that I will not forget. Dr. Else and Henrik are unforgettable characters. They were my favorite.
