Book Review: A Song in the Dark by Kimberley Woodhouse
A very moving read! Christian Historical Fiction with a bit of romance. We follow Chaisley, who became blind at 10 years old after a car accident many years ago where her parents were killed. She becomes a famous pianist touring Europe right when WWII is about to occur. Her concerts puts her in the spotlight and Hitler himself takes notice of her. She is able to secretly help others in danger and she works with Rick, a British intelligence officer posing as her driver and they end up facing so much together.
This book was filled with hope during dark times. Chaisley had been through so much hardship but she never gave up. She didn't want people to treat her differently because she was blind and she worked to ensure she was seen for more than her disability. During a time when being blind held more than just a disability...many faced death and exile....Chaisley was ready to be on the frontlines and stand with courage.
Kimberley really delivered a powerful story sharing Chaisley musical gifts with us all. Rick and Chaisley's interactions were perfect. We saw their partnership add such a layer of depth to this story. I also appreciate the disability represented with Chaisley's blindness - we do not have enough blind characters in books. If you enjoy WWII fiction with strong heroines and a thread of faith, this one is definitely worth picking up!
This was my first Kimberley Woodhouse story and I can't wait to read more. Thank you to the author and publisher, Bethany House, for providing a complimentary copy of this book to read and review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
