Happy Friday! I hope you are looking for a good weekend read, because I am very excited to let everyone know about Sarah Sundin‘s newest book, A Memory Between Us. Her first novel, A Distant Melody, has been my favorite book of this past year (see Book Pick from April 8, 2010). I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this second book and read more about the Novak brothers, World War II B-17 pilots who discover faith, love and courage as they navigate the skies. Clearly, with Sundin’s characters, love is “in the air.” A Memory Between Us is the second book of the Wings of Glory Series put out by Revell, but each novel (telling the story of a different brother) could easily stand alone. In A Memory Between Us, Major Jack Novak has never failed to meet a challenge–until he meets army nurse Lieutenant Ruth Doherty. When Jack lands in the army hospital after a plane crash, he makes winning Ruth’s heart a top priority mission. But he has his work cut out for him. Not only is Ruth focused on her work in order to support her orphaned siblings back home, she carries a shameful secret that keeps her from giving her heart to any man. Can Jack break down her defenses? Or are they destined to go their separate ways? (Description borrowed from Sarah Sundin’s website).
For those of us who love historical fiction, Sundin’s writing is like enjoying a luscious dessert: every bite is better than the last. Even though her novels are longer than most current historical romances, I keep finding myself wanting them not to end. (If you read my post a few weeks back about wanting MORE — this is a definte case.) She immerses her characters into the history of the time period, weaving in tantalizing details about daily life and historical events. The characters struggle with challenges that are not so different than our own, making it comfortable for the reader to step into the story and immediately feel at home.
If you are interested in learning more about World War II and the experiences of those who lived through it, I encourage you to subscribe to Sundin’s blog, Under His Wings. She supplies daily “Today in WWII history” tidbits as well as posts about what life was like during wartime.
The only problem I see now is this — how am I going to wait until August 2011 to read the third book in the series, Blue Skies Tomorrow?
