When Twilight Breaks is Sarah Sundin‘s latest World War II romance. Filled with intrigue and danger, it captures readers and takes them on a journey through pre-war Munich. Within the first few pages, it quickly vaulted to one of my favorite reads of the year thus far.
Evelyn Brand is an American news corespondent, left out of the Berlin office due to her gender. And her propensity to find a way to communicate to the American people the dyer situation facing the German people, even if she has to dress like a man to do it. But she must be careful not to get herself kicked out of the country before doing all she can to help.
Peter Lang is also American, teaching at the university as he works on his dissertation on the German language. Having personally experienced the destruction of chaos back home, he is impressed by the order of this new Germany. Until his eyes are opened and he realizes there’s a dark side to this new regime.
When Twilight Breaks wowed me from the beginning. I immediately loved the characters and how they interacted. Watching their views adjust as German laws become more and more blatantly antisemitic was seamlessly understandable. And I admired how Evelyn conducted herself as a woman in a man’s world and Peter’s decision on how to handle his feelings for her.
I highly recommend reading When Twilight Breaks. It’s a fantastic take on the darkening of Europe before the war. Not to mention how the author handles a female journalist living at that point in history and the ethical considerations faced on both sides of the Atlantic. I hope you’ll enjoy this story as much as I did.
If you’d like a sneak peak at the first line, here’s my post for First Line Friday.

This is one of my favorite time periods lately
It’s a good one, isn’t it?
Sarah’s books are always interesting and well written. Still have to read book three in Sarah’s Waves of Freedom series and I haven’t even read her series right before these, so I have lots of catch up reading to do. 🙂
This was my first of hers, so I’m interested in reading those other books as well.
