The Underground Sisters by Soraya M. Lane

The Underground Sisters

by Soraya M. Lane

Rating: 5 star rating

I really liked "The Underground Sisters" by Soraya M. Lane. This World War II novel is about Aletta, a Dutch school teacher who worries about the Jewish children in her classroom, her caring mother Emma, and Chloe a young French woman who sacrifices her own freedom to protect her family. Their separate journeys eventually bring them together in the Ravensbruck concentration camp.

The women formed a family of their own when everything else had been taken away. They shared stories, memories, recipes, and words of encouragement to help each other survive. 

I liked Emma because of her quiet strength and the way she encouraged the people around her. Aletta was dedicated to protecting children, and Chloe's loyalty to her brothers made me care deeply about all three women.

This book is heartbreaking at times, but it is also full of courage, friendship, and resilience. The ending provided closure and left me feeling hopeful for the sacrifices these women made.

If you enjoy historical fiction about ordinary people doing extraordinary things during World War II, I highly recommend this book. It is emotional, inspiring, and a reminder of how powerful friendship and hope can be there even in the darkest of times.

Thank you, NetGalley, Amazon Publishing UK, and the authors Soraya M. Lane for the book review consideration. All opinions are my own.
