The Girl from Guernica

De: Karen Robards

Narrado por: Nancy Peterson

For fans of All the Light We Cannot See and The Tattooist of Auschwitz!

Inspired by Picasso’s great masterpiece Guernica, New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards returns with a riveting story of love, intrigue, deception and bravery in the face of war…

On an April day in 1937, the sky opens and fire rains down upon the small Spanish town of Guernica. Seventeen-year-old Sibi and her family are caught up in the horror. Griff, an American military attaché, pulls Sibi from the wreckage, and it’s only the first time he saves her life in a span of hours. When Germany claims no involvement in the attack, insisting the Spanish Republic was responsible, Griff guides Sibi to lie to Nazi officials. If she or her sisters reveal that they saw planes bearing swastikas, the gestapo will silence them—by any means necessary.

As war begins to rage across Europe, Sibi joins the underground resistance, secretly exchanging information with Griff. But as the scope of Germany’s ambitions becomes clear, maintaining the facade of a Nazi sympathizer becomes ever more difficult. And as Sibi is drawn deeper into a web of secrets, she must find a way to outwit an enemy that threatens to decimate her family once and for all.

Masterfully rendered and vividly capturing one of the most notorious episodes in history, The Girl from Guernica is an unforgettable testament to the bonds of family and the courage of women in wartime.

Wow

Gripping. Heart pounding. Could not put it down!! This is a fabulous story but also very emotional.

Great historical story

Little overly dramatic by narrator, that made it distracting at times. The story was great, so many twists and turns, harrowing moments. Loved the spy, OSS references. Great book. Highly recommend. Author is awesome.

Great story.

I learned the history of a famous painting by Picasso through a very well done story.

Interesting book

This book kept me engaged the entire time…good story, good narration. Would recommend for those that enjoy historical fiction.

Troublesome

The story is mesmerizing but a bit gruesome. So much so that it makes you want to persevere peace!!!! The factual basis brings the horrors of war home. But the heroics bring back faith in goodness

The Story and the development of the characters

The story was well researched and took place in four different locations. It took me several chapters to go into the book but after that it was hard to put down. I liked that the author chose the oldest daughter’s viewpoint. I would recommend the book. It will keep you in suspense through out the book. Narration was good. I would reconnect this book. RJS

An intense and powerful story of bravery, intelligence and love.

I loved this book even though it took me a few chapters to know it would be a fantastic story. The historic backdrop had me Googling maps and WWII facts alongside the storyline so that I learned and was thoroughly entertained once the story unfolded.

Great story of a previously unknown part of history

Although historical fiction, I felt as if I was learning a lot about a previously unknown (to me) part of the horrific conflict that was World War II
