WOW! Despite reading hundreds of historical fiction novels, I’ve never read one as beautiful as this. It’s an impressive, magnificent, and emotional novel!

What a creative book!! I’ve read countless historical fictions, but I’ve never read one with a plot like this. Alfie and Nina have been swapping places their entire lives, but when WWI approaches, they plan their most daring move yet. This was full of important gender conventions that felt perfectly placed in a story like this. I adored reading about these two and my heart ached for their struggles. The scenes of battle perfectly juxtaposed with the twins’ scenes of self doubt and fear really drove the message home, highlighting the importance of being true to yourself. A stunning and emotional novel that shows how far sibling love and the need to be one’s self will go.

I can REALLY appreciate this book as an active duty military spouse. Aflie and Nina’s love is portrayed in such a delicate way. Their bond is unmatched. This book brought tears to my eyes. The author did such a good job at pulling my emotions and putting so many thoughts that i’ve had into the most beautiful words. Thank you to netgalley for the book in exchange for an honest review.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for allowing me to read The Red Tunic. I loved this book. So many things about it. The characters Alfie & Nina are amazing. Their bond is incredible. The story is about love and what we do for those we love. The message is so appropriate in this time of hate. The way the author writes about people being able to life their authentic life is beautiful to read. This is a book about the horrors of war, but ultimately about the triumph of love. This is a book not to be missed.
