A Song Unheard

Roseanna M. White’s “Shadows Over England” series is full of mystery and intrigue. This second installment does an excellent job of extending the storyline.
At the very beginning of World War 1, Willa Forsythe is a thief, and a very skilled one at that. She only “robs from the rich” to take care of the needs of a group of orphans that have banded together as a family. She is also a musical prodigy. She needs to hear a melody only one time to play it exquisitely on her battered and beaten violin.
These two talents combined make Willa the perfect spy needed for a mission to help England during this time of war. As Willa’s mission takes a dangerous turn, she is forced trust someone other than herself. She begins to search her heart to decide if she does actually believe that there is a God who watches over His own.
As much as I enjoyed the suspenseful wartime storyline, I appreciated Willa’s road to redemption even more. Finding hope and faith in a time of personal crisis is a theme that can resonate with many readers.
Readers of historical fiction will appreciate the details that Roseanna has included in this story. Willa’s story is a compelling one of both redemption and restoration. Although this is the second book in the series, you can enjoy this book without having read the first one.
Thanks for the review. My mom enjoys historical fiction and I will recommend the book to her
Sounds great!
