The Letter Carrier by L.C. Lewis – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

The Letter Carrier by Laurie L.C. Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Letter Carrier is one of the most captivating books I’ve read. I love reading about WWII and Nazi Germany, and this book checked all those boxes. The book is largely based on a true story and reads like a memoir. There is so much detail and you can feel the fear in the characters. It is focused around Michelle Nagat and her family, during a 4 year stretch. They have the largest home in their French village, which is commandeered by German soldiers in the 1940s. They quickly become prisoners within their own home, being servants to the soldiers. In fear of their lives daily, they do what they must to survive. I loved reading the ending, telling of the current lives of the characters. We also hear about the authors research and work put into writing and publishing the book. Highly recommend, this book held my attention start to finish, and beyond. I found myself Googling the family and events, to see what details were factual. I would love to read other books by the author, as she writes wonderfully, capturing the characters, and truly does her research.
