I’m so happy to bring you my review for We Fly Beneath The Stars as part of the Bookouture-Books-On-Tour today. Thanks to Bookouture for the ARC of the book to take part.
1942, Europe: Based on the true story of female fighter pilots in the Second World War, this is a totally heartbreaking and unforgettable story about sacrifice, sisterhood and a love that transcends war.
When the love of Tasha’s life, Luca, joins the air force to fight against the evil Nazi invaders, she knows she has to follow her heart—and him—into battle. Headstrong, impulsive and a daredevil, she’s the perfect recruit.
Tasha’s sensible older sister Nadia plans only to stop Tasha’s madness and bring her home. But a chance encounter puts her in a plane, soaring above the clouds, and she also finds her calling.
Underestimated by their superiors, Nadia and her sister find themselves in airplanes barely fit to fly, being sent on perilous missions with little hope of return. But before long their battalion is being nicknamed ‘the Night Witches’ by the Nazis, their ownership of the skies second to none.
But danger is up in the storm clouds with them, and when both sisters are shot down behind Nazi enemy lines, and taken to a brutal prison camp, they expect to never see their beloved homeland again.
Until Tasha’s eyes meet across the wire fence with someone she never expected to see again: the love of her life, Luca.
But with love comes peril… Will one sister have to sacrifice everything to save the other?
Suzanne Kelman is an author whose historical fiction novels have always been such great reads. I expected nothing but a fabulous story as I settled down to read We Fly Beneath The Stars.
Based on a true story about the Russian Night Witches, the only Regiment of fighter pilots who were all female and in the Russian Air Force during World War Two. Suzanne Kelman has woven such an excellent story with Fly Beneath The Stars, that I think it’s easily amongst the best of her books to date.
The author has educated and entertained me with this book. I had never heard of female fighter plane pilots during the Second World War. Another story where I couldn’t tell where the facts ended and the fiction began. It was woven together so well. I was almost inhaling this story as I flipped the pages over so quickly.
I have to say I think Suzanne Kelman is one of the best storytellers of historical fiction. Her writing is powerful and her characters can put your heart through the wringer. This book did that, more than once! A story that is full of courage, bravery, and love too. I highly recommend this if you are a historical fiction fan at all.
