Blog Tour Book Review: Sisters of the Resistance, Book Two of The Wartime Paris Sisters, by Jina Bacarr

Available from Amazon UK and Amazon US

Paris, 1942: Two sisters in Paris had their lives torn apart. Now they must choose – save themselves, or fight the Nazis to the very end…

Jina Bacarr's Sisters of the Resistance explores the lives of two sisters, Eve and Justine Beaufort, as they navigate the tumultuous landscape of occupied Paris during World War II. This second book in The Wartime Paris Sisters series continues to build upon the strong foundation established in the first.

This is a story of courage, sacrifice, and the indomitable spirit of the human heart. The sisters' involvement in the French Resistance is both thrilling and heart-wrenching, as they risk their lives to aid the Allied cause. The author's vivid descriptions of the city, its people, and the dangers they faced transport readers to a time of great turmoil and uncertainty.

One of the novel's strengths lies in its portrayal of the complexities of human nature. The characters are well-developed and relatable, with authentic motivations and fears. The bond between the sisters is particularly complex, as they support and protect each other in the face of adversity.

Jina Bacarr takes the time to delve into the emotional toll of war on the characters. The novel doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of the time, including the often harrowing brutality of the Nazi occupation and the devastating consequences of resistance. 

In her author's note Jina Bacarr adds that her personal journey and experience of violence against women helped her to wrote about this difficult subject, and how if can affect the victims. 

I recommend Sisters of the Resistance as an authentic historical fiction novel that offers a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people who made extraordinary sacrifices.
