Review of Sandra Eden's War
[Following is a volunteer review of "Sandra Eden's War" by Michael Low.]
A quick read on the brave journey of the invisible warriors.
Sandra Eden sets her journey as a Special Operation Executive on the French land, in ally with the French officers who are under the same mission representing their own people. She is declared, 'Missing in Action' owing to her unexpected ‘parachute-landing mishap’. The team replaces her with another officer to finish up the task, but are in for a surprise when they find her hail and healthy, running her errands as instructed. The rest of the story entices the dangerous expeditions of the secret forces, who try to break-free from the war, by scheming the right course of action against the German forces, who are at war with the English and the French resistance.
The quick-paced move and the descriptive details of the various missions set forth along the plot, entices the readers to look forward to the next scene. The straight-forward language and the engaging tales of the bitter past, lets the reader taste the struggles and challenges of the people who witnessed the war. The importance given to each and every character of the story, is a bang-on addition to the success of the plotline. The camaraderie of the warriors and the belief in the strength of the young women, who fight their way to prove their wit and courage; sets forth a respectful image of the brave hearts. The exchange of the quotes and keywords entertains the readers, though they are short in numbers across the story. To quote a line “Can’t tell you what I’ve been doing, or I’d have to shoot you!”. Apart from the regular exchange of plans and strategical actions, the story also throws light on some of the key areas, that were under the radar during the war times. Mike Low has done a fair amount of research on it to hold the authenticity of the plot.
The depth of the story deviates at some point, due to the focus on the technical aspects associated to the plot. But, the same reason lets the readers move ahead to find out how Mike Low makes a solid progressive move with the characters in the story.
I rate the book 3 out of 4 for giving the readers a taste of the realistic image of the lives of the silent heroes from the past. The story though short in length, has added a fair amount of credit and justice to the real intent of the narrative.
Sandra Eden’s War is best suited for the readers who are on the lookout for War Fiction, set in the simple yet dynamic space of a short and bittersweet tale.
