Sons of Thunder by Susan May Warren

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Sophie Frangos is torn between the love of two men and the promise that binds them all together. Markos Stavros loves Sophie from afar while battling his thirst for vengeance and his hunger for honor. Dino, his quiet and intelligent brother, simply wants to forget the horror that drove them from their Greek island home to start a new life in America. One of these “sons of thunder” offers a future she longs for, the other—the past she lost.

From the sultry Chicago jazz clubs of the roaring twenties to the World War II battlefields of Europe to a final showdown in a Greek island village, they’ll discover betrayal, sacrifice, and finally redemption. Most of all, when Sophie is forced to make her choice, she’ll learn that God honors the promises made by the Sons of Thunder.

MY REVIEW

In the past I have not read much historical fiction, and, wow, what have I been missing?! Warren has done an amazing job putting me right in the middle of the war. 

This was the first novel I have read by Warren (though I own a couple that are still on my TBR list!)

Written from three perspectives, almost as three separate novellas, and combined together into one unforgettable story, this book is a must read for historical fiction fans everywhere.

I will be reading more historical fiction and more by Susan May Warren.

(I do caution that if you have a soft stomach there are so scenes that Warren describes that got me a little woozy and I had to stop reading for a little while. Though this 'feeling' is new to me and I have only experienced it a few times, I just felt inclined to warn you!) 

And be sure to check out Susan's fun contest for the book's release:
