Bluebird

By: Sharon Cameron

Narrated by: Carlotta Brentan

In 1946, Eva leaves behind the rubble of Berlin for the streets of New York City, stepping from the fiery aftermath of one war into another, far colder one, where power is more important than principles and lies are more plentiful than the truth. Eva holds the key to a deadly secret: Project Bluebird - a horrific experiment of the concentration camps, capable of tipping the balance of world power. Both the Americans and the Soviets want Bluebird, and it is something that neither should ever be allowed to possess.

But Eva hasn't come to America for secrets or power. She hasn't even come for a new life. She has come to America for one thing: justice. And the Nazi that has escaped its net.

Critically acclaimed author of The Light in Hidden Places Sharon Cameron weaves a taut and affecting thriller ripe with intrigue and romance in this alternately chilling and poignant portrait of the personal betrayals, terrifying injustices, and deadly secrets that seethe beneath the surface in the aftermath of World War II.

Fascinating story

Loved the characters and how the entire story is based on actual history. The author wrote so beautifully and believable.

Great story

It is stories like this that give me faith in humankind. We don’t have to be defined by our upbringing.

Captivating and an eye opener.

I learned something new and horrifying about WWII. I can totally see why this is not a part of American history...but we need to know. Thank you. Will look for more books by her.

1 of my favorite listens this year

This story was very informative and well told. I learned a lot. It kept me guessing too! I loved the author’s notes at the end so I knew which parts were factual. Loved the narration too.

Incredible Story

I have yet to encounter a book of Sharon Cameron’s that I do not like, and this one did not disappoint. The story is spellbinding, and also leaves the listener on a hopeful note. I would definitely recommend this book.

Incredibly special

After the first 3 or 4 chapters I wasn’t sure about this one so decided to start over and give it my full attention and I’m so glad I did. Best book I’ve listened to in ages. The narrator is sublime which adds so much to an already fantastic story. Give this one a chance…you won’t be disappointed! Loved!!

Loved this book

I love reading and listening to WW2 historical fiction. There is always something to learn that you never realized happened. Bluebird sheds light on several details of the aftermath that occurred I life and governments. Amazing book!

Great book

The first chapters were a little tough to get through, as the heroine dealt with such difficult events, but before long, I was completely engaged with this book. I highly recommend it!

unique post WWII perspective, well researched

I really love historical fiction, especially from WWII. This was a unique perspective about something I hadn't heard of before. The story and characters were well developed. It has some plot twists. I especially liked that it didn't have an abrupt, perfectly wrapped up ending. And from listening to the author's notes at the end, I discovered how well researched this book was. I really enjoyed it!

great read.

Not the usual WW II story. Fascinating and unusual perspective. Narrator added pitch perfect tension.
