When Twilight Breaks by Sarah Sundin

Munich, 1938. Evelyn Brand is an American foreign correspondent as determined to prove her worth in a male-dominated profession as she is to expose the growing tyranny in Nazi Germany. To do so, she must walk a thin line. If she offends the government, she could be expelled from the country--or worse. If she fails to truthfully report on major stories, she'll never be able to give a voice to the oppressed--and wake up the folks back home.

In another part of the city, American graduate student Peter Lang is working on his PhD in German. Disillusioned with the chaos in the world due to the Great Depression, he is impressed with the prosperity and order of German society. But when the brutality of the regime hits close, he discovers a far better way to use his contacts within the Nazi party--to feed information to the shrewd reporter he can't get off his mind. 

Wow!! What a great book.  I found myself reading when I should have been doing other things.  I believe everyone should read this book to see what happened in Germany in the late 1930's.  It's quite the eyeopener to what is happening right now in the US.  Politics aside, Evelyn and Peter started out on opposite sides of the spectrum.  Evelyn has a hard being taken seriously because she is a woman.  Woman in the 1930's were thought to belong in the kitchen and no where else.  Here nickname is Firebrand and it is an apt name.  All Peter wants to do is finish his research for his doctorate.  Again, I say this is a great book.

I was given this book by Revell Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
