Light Shining in The Light After the War

The Light After the War by Anita Abriel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5/5 stars
What a moving story. Told from the point of view of Vera Frankel, Anita Abriel skillfully weaves the story of two young women--Vera and her best friend, Edith Ban--who have survived World War II, with flashbacks of Vera's past memories of childhood and school days. I enjoyed reading this and I think it would make a good movie someday. It has the story of a sweeping saga, with characters that are believable and sympathetic, with plenty of drama and romance and mystery and heart.
I would love to know how much this story parallels the story of the woman it's based upon.
