Loved this book. Let me start with that. I am a huge fan of WWII-era books but this one was the first I have come across that included the truth about the Windsors, particulary King Edward VIII and his fascist sympathies (does anyone know he met with Hitler several times?!). Ms. Harris was excellent with her character description and evoking the times and era of this novel.. I will definitely be reading more from her!

Very very good, but did not wow me. Felt like a bit of a chore to finish. Just didn’t hit the right notes

Beneath a Starless Sky is a complete immersion into survival, love, espionage, and the intricacies of families and friends during Nazi Germany. The ending had me both angry and relieved, which was new for me. I highly recommend reading this novel.

I enjoy any story that has history spread across decades and even better when you get a feel for the characters relationships and emotions so well!

Any book that takes me on a journey that I finally let out my breath at the end is a 5 star, must-read for me. Beneath a Starless Sky covers decades of time and stories love, war, sacrifice & faith. Though it’s historical fiction, there are elements that are based on real-life events/people and I enjoyed reading the fact & fiction elements.

Thank you to NetGalley & Harper HQ for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I personally really enjoyed Beneath a Starless Sky by Tessa Harris. I am a fan of basically all WWII-era books but this one was the first one I had read that involved the Windsor family and their fascist sympathies. Including the Royal Family gave me a whole new perspective on the history I had learned previously with King Edward and King George. I felt T. Harris did a great job with character description and bouncing through time and location. It was a very enjoyable read and I would read another from this author.
