The Peacemakers Trilogy: A 3-Book Romance Series of Quakers Who Persevere Through World War II
Ebook
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
A collection of three novels by Anna Schmidt takes readers
into war torn Europe during World War II, along with characters who
exhibit an unwavering Quaker faith, strong family connections, and
the conviction to stand for the truth against evil. Will three
couple’s love, forged amid great hardship, stand a chance. . .if
they even survive all the Nazis throw at them?
These three novels are very well written. The narrative
flows with rich detail and the characters are complex. Each
character mirrors what I believe are very true to life people
during that time period. The language is simple and
straightforward and where there could be confusion about the
religious beliefs and practices of the cast, the author does a very
good job of explaining why they do what they do. I found the
descriptions of the Quaker faith and practices sprinkled throughout
the books quite interesting. The juxtaposition of a faith
grounded in nonviolence and peace in the middle of the world’s
greatest war was a topic I haven’t seen tackled in a great deal of
WWII fiction. It made for a highly interesting read and left
me wanting to know a lot more about the practices of the Friends
community.
