When We Fall | Carolyn Kirby
3 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
In England, 1943, British pilot Vee Katchatourian is determined to get her flying Wings, in spite of her sex and foreign name. Meanwhile, in Occupied Poland, Ewa Hartman serves German officers in her father's guest house, while secretly gathering intelligence for the resistance. What neither woman knows is that they are in love with the same man... Stefan Bergel is haunted by a choice he made whilst held in Russian captivity. Now, he's one of the only surviving witnesses of an appalling war crime - a crime that risks going unpunished. Compelled to expose the truth, Stefan asks both women to take enormous risks for him. Their actions could completely change the course of the war... but is he asking too much?

Mehso-so

Just a bit meh. The historical bits were good and I went and read the non-fictional stuff in the internet rabbit hole. The romance bits were boring to me and just not realistic. Perhaps I‘m just a boring old grump where romance is concerned.

rockpools Ha! I trust your grumpiness- I might not stack this one 🙁 3y
Tamra I‘m with you generally on the grump factor. 3y
TrishB @rockpools @Tamra I think I‘m done with 2 women fighting over a man trope. And descriptions of wanting to stroke the hairs on his wrist continually just made me 🙄 3y

Started tagged book this morning, mainly because my kindle was sat next to me and I was feeling to lazy to go and inspect the piles. The other 2 are likely contenders this week at the moment.

AceOnRoam Pretty good so far 👍 3y
squirrelbrain I just finished Everyone Knows - I think / hope you‘ll like it! 3y

Pickpick

This marvellous tale tells of life during these troubled times, how Vee deals with racism and sexism as a female pilot of Armenian descent, and of Ewa, her bravery and commitment to fighting for what‘s right. All linked by Stefan and the horrific massacre at Katyn.

Beautifully written with great characters, full of an atmosphere so evocative of the time and place. A mix of love, bravery and the horrors of war. A truly stunning read.
