This was such a good book it was well written with good characters and a good setting, I love books set in Scandinavia. It was gripping, emotive and I couldnt put it down. I really enjoyed it.

A gripping read set in Norway during the second World War. I found it was gripping and tense and could not stop reading.

The Resistance Girl by Mandy Robotham

Norway, 1942. War rages, and, under cover of darkness, Rumi Orlstad and her fellow resistance fighters smuggle British agents, fugitives and supplies across the North Sea into Nazi-occupied territory.

One night, when he braves a storm to complete an ill-fated mission, Rumi’s fiancé is lost to the dangerous waters. Broken-hearted, she withdraws from the clandestine group, vowing never to let her loved ones put themselves in the line of fire again.

But months later, Rumi stumbles across a Nazi secret that lays Hitler’s plans for Norway bare, and she knows she has no choice but to risk her life for her country once .
Yet another brilliant title by Mandy Robotham , I think she is unable to write a bad one !
I really enjoyed the character Rumi and her fight against the Nazi's and learnt that even countries such as Norway were still under threat.

The first World War II historical fiction book that I fell in love with as a kid was set in Denmark, so it seems fitting that the most recent WWII historical fiction novel that I fall in with is set in Norway. The Scandinavian countries aren't something that pop a lot in WWII fiction and they should as those countries also played a huge part in not only winning the war but helping the Jews escape the Nazi's. Many because Sweden reminded neutral and Demark and Norway fought back any way they could.
