The Refrain Within by Liz Tolsma is the third book in her Music of Hope series. Hungarian clarinetist Eva Bognar is engaged to conductor and composer Patrik Kedves. With the wedding fast approaching Eva isn’t paying much attention to the plight of others around her. Until the Nazi’s threaten her family. In a very trying time in the world’s history Eva’s bravery in the story was just a sample of how so many ordinary people became heroes. She might have lost her faith in humanity for a while, and her faith in God was sorely tested but she never gave up. The plight of the Hungarian Jews is something you don’t hear much about, especially in stories. Ms. Tolsma kept the history alive without being overbearing. I really enjoyed following along with Eva and Patrik as they discovered who they really were in a difficult time.
I received this book from Celebrate-Lit for my honest review.
