Search - Resistance

This is a love story set in the horrific days of World War II. It is very sad. It displays the brutal realities of war...the ability to destroy lives not only physically, but emotionally as well. The ending does give hope to the human spirit and power of love. A good read. It will touch your heart.

Great book. Well written but at times brutal, graphic and heartbreaking. I am still wishing this book ended better. Nothing worse then a sad ending but this book is still worth the read.

This is horrible. It is so boring I stopped after 33 pages, I couldn't stand it another minute. It may pick up but I couldn't take the chance that it didn't. I have never been a huge fan of Anita Shreve mostly because her books to me seem overated and wordy. This is the worst I have read, I think it will be the last that I try as well, there is just too much out there to read to waste my time with this author.

In Resistance, Anita Shreve takes us into a world of war. Claire is a member of the Resistance, a group of people dedicated to fighting the war from their kitchens and attics by funneling the injured and endangered to safety in France.

When a bomber crashes in a field near her village, Claire risks her life to care for the pilot. All seems to be going well, and the pilot will soon be headed to the next safe haven - but when someone rashly murders three German guards, all bets are off. The questions of who can be trusted, who might be working for the other side, and who will live or die are as common as taking a breath.

Resistance is the story of love against all odds, a tale of survival in the direst of circumstances, and doing what has to be done, no matter the cost.

I read this book in one sitting - I didn't want to put it down. My only complaint is that it didn't last longer!
