In this emotionally powerful WWII drama, children's book writer Natalie Lucas looks to her faith in God to help her beloved Jewish niece Mila escape the approaching Nazi menace in Hungary. Natalie's twin sister, the celebrated poet and professor, Anna Lucas, has succumbed to early-onset dementia, making the situation even more unstable for Natalie and Mila. Natalie and Anna's personal and professional relationship provides an interesting subplot whch focuses on the foundations of sisterly love. In the meantime, surrounded by violence and the threat of capture, Natalie must find a safe way out of the country for Mila. She eventually turns to her teenage sweetheart, Deszo, a Professor whom she rejected in order to marry her true love, Max. The past love triangle between Deszo, Natalie and Anna adds further complications; however, Deszo may provide Mila with her only chance of escape. As Natalie and Deszo are thrown together by their mission to save Mila, their love for one another is re-ignighted.After the Nazis learn of Deszo's assistance to the Jews, he and Natalie are brutally interrogated by a Nazi officer who has been following their activities, and their lives are in danger. After many doubts as to who in their community is friend or foe, the novel culminates with a heart-wrenching conclusion which provokes questions of loyalty, family and above all-faith.Author's Note: Love in a Time of War is a re-telling of Mrs. Tuesday's Departure, my first novel. LOVE as the title suggests contains both a romance and the happy ending that readers told me they wanted. It is with great happiness that I am able to provide both in this story.… (mehr)

I turned to my sister and saw the rage that filled her eyes.
She leaned over and whispered in my ear. "First you take the man that I love and then you take my prize. I will never forgive you."
But she did in time. I gave up poetry after that contest. And I gave up Deszo."


Budapest. The Germans have just arrived and the Russians are on their way. Twin sisters Anna and Natalie are sheltering their half-Jewish niece in their apartment while looking for a better solution. There are no more trains allowed past the border. The greengrocer is thinking of turning them in to get the Nazis off her back and there is little food. It's a desperate time, for all involved. One sister teeters on the edge of reality, leaving the other to try and solve the situation on her own. They turn to the one man who might be able to help. The one man who has loved them both. Deszo.

So, yes, it's a love triangle - but - it's not YA and it's a standalone so you don't have to read an entire trilogy for the conclusion! Best WWII book ever? No, but not the worst either. An enjoyable few hours in a genre that I adore, I'll take it. An interesting contemplation of jealousy, what-ifs and familial love. ( )
