"When Twilight Break's, by Sarah Sundin"

Munich, 1938

Evelyn Brand is an American foreign correspondent determined to prove her worth in a male-dominated profession and to expose the growing tyranny in Nazi Germany. To do so, she must walk a thin line. If she offends the government, she could be expelled from the country--or worse. If she does not report truthfully, she'll betray the oppressed and fail to wake up the folks back home.

Peter Lang is an American graduate student working on his PhD in German. Disillusioned with the chaos in the world due to the Great Depression, he is impressed with the prosperity and order of German society. But when the brutality of the regime hits close, he discovers a far better way to use his contacts within the Nazi party--to feed information to the shrewd reporter he can't get off his mind.

As the world marches relentlessly toward war, Evelyn and Peter are on a collision course with destiny.

I don't normally read books about World War II and Nazi Germany, but I am glad I got to read this.  This book was based on American's working in Germany at the time.  It showed you how people were deceived into thinking how the Nazi regime was a good stabling effect on Germany at first, then their true colours showed through.

This book brought up how it was one rule for women and another rule for men, and how hard women had to fight for their places in the workforce and to be recognized for their achievements.

The book moved at a fast pace with many twists and turns.  It was a page turner as you had to know what was going to happen next.  The love story between Evelyn and Peter was good, as it didn't happen overnight.  The book allowed both character's to develop feelings for one another, without jumping in head first.

Stars out of 5 : 4.5  I thought the ending a bit weak.  Everything seems to fall in place and "they lived happily ever after."  If you are a fan of books set in this time period, this is a book for you.
