MY THOUGHTS:
Hana, Zuzi and Orla loose their beloved father when he is murdered by the Nazis. And then when she lost her fiancé she knew that her life would never be the same. But as she and her sisters watch her beloved town be slowly taken over by the Nazis, she knows that she is the only one that can keep her family safe. Hana and her two younger sisters join the resistance each having their own mission. Zuzi is part of a secret female combat unit and Orla is a nurse in an underground hospital. Hana risks her life in the war ravaged streets to save her family. But as the war rages on more and more lives are taken and the devastation is unbearable. Hana and her sisters are running out of time to save those they love.
The Resistance Sisters, written by author Anna Stuart is an amazing story of incredible people that risked their own lives to save others. Stuart always pulls the reader into the story and makes them feel like they are walking the war torn streets. I loved this story of resilience, sacrifice and heart wrenching that moved me to tears. This gripping heart warming story had me desperate to read through to the very end, in one sitting. I was completely overwhelmed by the characters and they left me gasping for breath as they carried out the missions of the resistance. This wonderful historical fiction will definitely stay with me for a very long time. I loved it and I highly recommend it.

1944, Poland. ‘Take this message, keep it hidden.’ Shaking, I tuck the torn slip of paper in between the loaves of bread. I pray I can make it through the bombed-out streets and into the tunnels beneath this broken city without being caught. If this secret falls into the wrong hands, my sisters’ lives are at stake…
This heart-wrenching and unforgettable World War Two novel is inspired by the incredible true stories of the brave women who fought in the Warsaw Uprising.
Hana’s home has gone up in flames; the little bakery at the heart of the city is no more. Smoke curls into the sky and the buildings around her burn. But Hana has already lost far more – her blue-eyed fiancé was wrenched from her arms at the start of the war and her brave father was murdered by the Nazis. She’s determined to protect her younger sisters but every day more people are being killed…
Hana realises that one person alone won’t win the war and she has to accept her sisters are playing their own part in the resistance. Fiery Zuzi is working as part of a secret all-female combat unit while gentle Orla is a nurse in the underground hospital. As the women of Warsaw plan to rise up against the enemy, Hana risks her life to navigate the dangerous streets. The torn piece of paper she clutches in her hand has the potential to save her precious family.
It’s time to fight back. But when the moment they’ve been waiting for comes, will Hana and her sisters finally win back their freedom? Or will they lose their own lives as they fight for their futures…?
