THE LINE THAT DIVIDES
by Melanie Mason
What an AMAZING book!
So well written you will feel as if you are immersed in the time and place; the emotions reeling you along.
Yet WWII is raging and this school seems more like a prison to her.
Then one night the school is bombed in an air raid. Marianne is paralyzed with fear.
Her friend is hurt and Marianne feels responsible.
Being sent back home to Austria due to the school closure Marianne faces the nightly nightmares that come.
They seem to be getting better until another loud boom crashes close to her home.
An American plane has gone down and when she next goes into the barn she is surprised to find the two American crewmen hiding there.
With a quick decision she chooses to help Charlie and Sam...a secret she must keep well hidden.
If anyone should find out the repercussions could be deadly.
Keeping them hidden has become a big challenge with the arrival of the Nazis wanting to use her house as their base while searching for the Americans.
So Marianne and her mother put into play an escape plan.
Going down this path and already knowing multiple languages Marianne decides to defy the Nazis by joining the Austrian resistance...
Crossing "that line means choosing sides
and the consequences that might come."
and the consequences that might come."
Such a GREAT read!
LOVED. LOVED. LOVED. IT!
