Customer Reviews

A beautiful story of many voices

Austin has successfully weaved the stories of so many whom suffered during WWII in the Netherlands. Her ability to bring to life the work camps; what it was like to hide from Nazi searches; and how people thought about the invasion as it happened is brilliant. The Christian focus of standing up in the face of evil was powerful. Austin’s books are well-written and a pleasure to read.

Ww2 Era

Chasing Shadows by Lynn Austin is a WW2 era novel set in the Netherlands. The story follows three different women through the Nazi occupation. Ms. Austin made this a very moving tale. The struggles, the heartache, the hunger and fear all had me in tears. But through it all God proved faithful and they came out stronger. Lena learned to trust God with her family, Ans had to grow up suddenly and learn that her faith had to be her own, and Miriam had to learn that God was always faithful no matter what. What a great story of hope, faith and forgiveness. I received this book from the author for my honest review.
