5 Stars

The Letter Carrier by L.C. Lewis tells the true story of the Naget family during the Nazi occupation of France at the time of WW2. Through the eyes of Michelle Naget, who was only a child at the time, the true horrors of the war are revealed. From the family’s attempt to flee France, to the Naget’s being captured by the Nazi’s, even being separated form one another, this outstanding novel will have you gripping the pages needing to know how Michelle, Mimie, survived.
I cannot say enough about this book. It is beautifully written and from page one this true story grabbed onto my emotions and wouldn’t let go. I admit I read some of L.C. Lewis’s words or Michelle’s memories through tears. I could feel Mimie’s fear of the unknown and almost hear the bullets raining down on them from the planes. The strength of the Naget clan is so unimaginable and filled me with such faith and hope. You can really feel the raw truth of what the war was like in France and it really made me reflect on a lot of things in my life and cherish them even more. This is not a book I will soon be forgetting! A must read!
