Resistance and Revenge
Rural England, 1941 and Louisa Carmody is trapped in a dirty war of resistance as her country struggles under the heel of a brutal invader. In the dilapidated local village, trust is in short supply and the need to survive trumps all loyalties. From the crumbling mansion that is her home a ragtag resistance group pits its meagre forces against the might of the invader.
Hunted by the enemy and betrayed by informers paid in blood money, the resisters know they cannot win. But they can exact a bloody revenge and it is this that drives them ever harder. Louisa can feel herself change because she too seeks revenge ...Resistance and Revenge is the story of a village in the grip of occupation and of those who have the courage to fight back. It is also the story of ordinary people, of people damaged by war, but determined to win back their freedom, no matter the cost. But in this war within a war, the cost may also involve sacrificing their own humanity.

What an interesting read. The book is written about the resistance in an area of England to the German's post invasion. It reflects the dangers of resistance, the hardships forced on the people on Estates when the Germans arrive to demand to be fed.
The author set the scene well and the story has an ending that I appreciated, but brought to life the bravery of those who were in the resistance during the war in Europe.
I am suggesting it is historical fantasy, but it is a really good read!
