The Sound of Light - Sarah Sundin
"Sarah Sundin dazzles in her latest novel, a work of literary artistry that captivates from beginning to end."—Booklist (starred review)
As the Germans occupy Denmark, nobleman Baron Henrik Ahlefeldt casts aside his title and adopts a new identity, covertly rowing messages across treacherous waters to aid the Danish Resistance.
Meanwhile, Dr. Else Jensen, an American physicist, stays in Copenhagen, unwilling to abandon her research—her lifelong passion. As she assists with printing underground newspapers, she hears whispers of the Havmand, the enigmatic “merman” of the movement. Could the quiet shipyard worker in her boardinghouse be hiding a secret?
As the pressure mounts under Occupation, Henrik and Else must confront the question: is there greater strength in words or in silence? In this powerful WWII novel, bestselling author Sarah Sundin weaves a story of resilience, courage, and faith in the face of overwhelming odds.
"An engrossing, suspense-filled tale, grounded in vivid historical detail."—Publishers Weekly
