Light of the Moon

by Elizabeth Buchan

Book Overview

In wartime France an English SOE and a German Abwehr officer fall in love - with consequences neither could have foreseen...

I thought loving someone was simple. It isn't. Glorious, yes. Painful, yes. Unforgettable, yes. Simple, no. It took me the war to find out...

Evelyn St. John has been parachuted into France to link up with the Resistance and to work undercover. Paul von Hoch's brief, as a member of German Intelligence, is to track down enemy spies.

When Evelyn and Paul meet and fall in love, their feelings for one another are fierce, but can never be uncomplicated. And when the battle lines shift, and patriotism gives way to deeper truths, they will both face the gravest of challenges.

Light of the Moon

One of her best works so far. I can't put it down and now Dad wants to read her. too! Success at last!

A stunning acknowledgement of love's boundlesness

This delightful look at forbidden love is heart wrenching and draws you into each character's life. It is a sensitive look at hardship and a sensual look at the development and denial of feelings. Her use of French adds to the atmosphere of the entire novel, and fills in for the lack of more discriptive English words. She brings across the message so clearly that one can not help but want to experiance the forbidden love seen here. Grippingly written and emotionally charged, it leaves me wanting to be the Evelyn in the novel.
