by Sarah Sundin (Author)

When the Germans march into Denmark, Baron Henrik Ahlefeldt exchanges his nobility for anonymity, assuming a new identity so he can secretly row messages for the Danish Resistance across the waters to Sweden.

American physicist Dr. Else Jensen refuses to leave Copenhagen and abandon her research--her life's dream. While printing resistance newspapers, she hears stories of the movement's legendary Havmand--the merman--and wonders if the mysterious and silent shipyard worker living in the same boardinghouse has something to hide.

When the Occupation cracks down on the Danes, these two passionate people will discover if there is more power in speech . . . or in silence. Bestselling author of more than a dozen WWII novels, Sarah Sundin offers pens another story of ordinary people responding to extraordinary circumstances with faith, fortitude, and hope for a brighter future.

My thoughts: SOUND OF LIGHT might have started a bit slow, but it didn't take long to pick up speed and become a page turner.  I didn't want to put the book down to do my job, chores, and other necessities like sleep, I just wanted to read and see what happened next.  I fell in love with Else, and of course, Henrik. My heart broke for him.  If you love historical romance, especially WWII stories, you will definitely want to read SOUND OF LIGHT. Highly recommended!   I was given a copy free and all opinions are my own.
