Sophia's War: The End of Innocence (English Edition) Formato Kindle
Sophia can hardly wait to return to Germany to help her great aunt run the town library, despite her father’s distrust of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. But Sophia’s not worried; she knows she will be safe with her extended family.
Unfortunately, the beautiful country that she remembers from her childhood visits is almost unrecognizable. Almost every man is in uniform, and everyone she meets seems watchful and secretive. It quickly becomes apparent that Germany is not what it used to be, and neither is her cousin, Diedrich.
Will Sophia return home when Diedrich gives her an ultimatum that defies her conscience? Or will her desire to fulfill her aunt’s wishes keep her in a dangerous foreign land on the brink of war?

I have also always had an interest in the history of WWII. Though this book is fictional, the author clearly took her time to research the period and gives a vividly accurate picture of life back then. I believe that the people who gave less than 2 stars on their review do not appreciate or understand that this book is the first of a series. This volume introduces us to Sophia and allows us to fall in love with the characters as the plot begins to form. The last few chapters had me up all night wanting to read more and I can't wait to read the next book in the series!




I have no issue with Christian fiction, as sometimes it can be a lot better written and put together than those outside this genre; the Authors of this kind of work always seem to be able to show the sliver of light in the darkness, but this novel was just too much and led to my being really irritated in parts. This impression was fuelled mainly by the featured protagonist of the title; she was just too good to be true. Her most annoying trait was putting off thinking about things that she didn’t like, or upset her all too sheltered little world. This may sound like a natural human reaction when dealing with the issue of war, but then the reader discovers that the most important things in her world are all centred on her. I found there to be no strength of will or conviction in this character at all, and as a whole found her to be rather vapid and flimsy. The main protagonist was not the only character I had issues with; her all too perfect devoutly Christian family were written in such a way that I felt downright disgust at their hypocrisy, and this made me come to think of them as “Sunday Christians”, not an image I should imagine the Author was looking to create at all.
Repetition featured heavily in this novel and, not intending to insult the Author in any way, it came across as if they had reached a wall with the storyline and brought back time and again feelings and impressions that had been covered earlier, to bridge a gap until the plot could be picked up again. If it was used as a tool to ensure the reader understood the motivations behind everything, good for them but if you are going to use this style in the future it may do well to come across a little less heavy-handedly. Also, and this is definitely just my personal opinion like everything else in the reviews I write, I feel this book should be reclassified as Christian Fiction; in this way the Author would probably reach a larger target audience. Classified as it is, readers picking this up and expecting to read about World War II Germany from a young American woman’s viewpoint will be sorely disappointed. I’m in two minds whether I will read anymore in the series; as one part of me would like to see if the Authors writing style and approach develop; but the other side of me is loathe to have to go through the same thing I went through with this novel.
I would recommend this book to those readers who enjoy inspirational Christian fiction and who don’t mind embarking on yet another series of books.
