The Letter Carrier by Laurie L.C. Lewis is an amazing historical fiction book. Historical fiction is not in my top five favorite genres, BUT let me tell you, I LOVED this book! Lewis did an amazing job collecting background information for over three years, she talked with Michelle Naget and studied french documents to fully immerse the reader in Michelle’s story. Michelle was not even twelve when Germany invaded her village and tore her world apart making her once peaceful life full of fear and hardships. Michelle and her family faced many challenges but never lost faith. Her steadfast faith inspires me and makes me want to try better with my own faith. I cannot praise this book enough! It is a must-read!

This coming-of-age story is told through the eyes of 12 year old Michelle Naget, as the Germans march through France during WWII. The Naget family’s life is turned upside-down when they are forced to endure the Germans taking over their home and becoming servants to the enemy. I was hooked on this story from the beginning and couldn’t put the book down. The reader is shown what the family went through in the ravages of war without the explicit details, but lets us in to the emotional experience. The story is also brought to life knowing it is based off of the stories and French documents from Michelle Naget. It’s hard to imagine what it was like for the Naget family, but the author does a wonderful job bringing it to life for the reader. This is definitely a book you should read!

When I decided to read this book, I was unaware that it was based on a true story. Learning that it was based on a true story made it more inspiring and impactful. When I read the description of the book what drew me in was that it was a different point of view during WWII. I love reading about WWII and Nazi Germany, and this book checked all those boxes. The author’s writing and descriptions provided me with a clear view of what it was like for Michelle and her family living in their home while it was occupied by the German soldiers during World War II and having to tiptoe around to keep many secrets hidden from the Nazis. It is unfortunate to learn that Michelle Naget had to learn many life lessons many years before she should have. The loss of her oldest brother to the war, her next oldest brother being shot, and constantly having to be worried she might become the object of a German soldier. This book is absolutely a must-read book.

I do not have the words to describe how this story made me feel. While this is not typically a genre that I tend to follow, I just simply could not ignore the beautiful cover, and the synopsis of this book. This story was a difficult one to read based on the story subject itself, however it is a beautiful story. The research that this terrific author did as well as the I interviews had to have been very detailed and perfect to make this story come to life. I personally can only imagine how difficult it must of have been to share this story, but I am so glad that an author took their time to do all the research necessary to get this wonderful story into the world.

The Letter Carrier by L.C. Lewis is a masterfully written piece of historical fiction. The fact that the author took so much time to capture these intricate details shines through from the very first page. Although this is a fictional story, she is clearly passionate about her writing and story being precise to reflect the time. Her writing and descriptions provided me a clear view of what it was like for Michelle and her family living in their home while it was occupied by the German soldiers during World War II, and having to tiptoe around to keep many secrets hidden from the Nazi’s. Many emotions flooded me throughout my time reading it, and even now I catch myself still reflecting upon it. I’d like to say thank you to the author for taking some much time and care transcribing this beautiful story. I will most certainly recommend to my historical fan friends and keep an eye out for more books by her.

This was a great read! It was emotional and inspiring. Finding out everything was based off of real experiences just made it more impactful. I’m very glad I picked this book up. I think this is a book everyone should read. One thing I enjoyed is the different perspective. A lot of World War Two memoirs and stories focus on the jews and this one was focused on France. Which was a different take than what I’m used to and I’m grateful for because sometimes it is easy to forget that other people were just as impacted by the war, just in different ways. Kudos to the author for this riveting tale. I can’t wait to read more from her in the future!

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.

I’m not sure where to start with The Letter Carrier. This book knocked me off my feet and pulled at every emotion I had. I cried at many different points throughout this story and shouted with joy at others. I will not soon forget this experience.
Michelle Naget and her family hear of Germans getting closer to their hometown and gather their essentials to flee with so many other families. They are unsuccessful in this attempt at escaping the Nazis and are sent back to be under the new reign of terror. They must endure through having the enemy living inside their home, providing food and services for them and being under the most intense scrutiny. Michelle made some friends but learned many unimaginable lessons from a young age as she would “do what must be done.”
This was such a heartbreaking, eye-opening experience into the atrocities that so many people endured during this harrowing point in history. I feel as though everyone should read this and put yourself in the shoes of the family in midst of this terror and gain a sliver of insight into how long and frightening this truly was.

What a powerful riveting story. This book was based on a true story and follows Michelle Naget’s story and the French amidst the Nazi invasion. It was powerful yet so tasteful and well done. I loved that graphic details were not necessary due to the skill of the author. I am a huge fan of historical fiction, but this book is just on a different scale. It is a story worth every minute, and I wish that everyone, from teen and up, could read it.

Michelle Naget is a young girl whose life has been one of happiness, family and fun, she lives with her parents and four brothers of which, she is the middle child, in the small village of Braquis, they are close and life is good, but when news starts arriving about the Nazi invasion, Michelle has no idea just how much her life is going to change.
It was a slow change at first, there were rumblings of fighting breaking out, but it wasn’t near to their village, but slowly, more and more people were seen walking through the town with only what they could carry and it was a shock to Michelle and her younger brothers when they joined them. They packed only the essentials and fled their home, this journey was full of danger and reality soon descends on the Naget family as events cause their worst fears to come to pass, a troop of Nazi soldiers find them, but one of the family has split off and they do not know what has happened to them as they are escorted back to their home, but it is not as it was left, their belongings are strewn in the road, as are those of their neighbours. That is not the worst of it, they now find that because they have space in their home, it has been requisitioned by the Nazi’s for their officers and now the Naget family have to serve their oppressors and become almost slaves in their own home.
This becomes their life four the next four years as the Nazi’s invasion continues, they are treated like slaves, food is scarce and school and work are the only things they are allowed to do, apart from attending the local church, this becomes a lifeline for Michelle as she desperately hangs onto her faith. Amid tensions with the other villagers, who question their loyalty and the threat of harm constantly hovering over their heads the Naget family take their family motto to heart “We do what must be done” and keep it there as they pray for the Allies to come and set them free, the only thing which keeps them sane are the letters they receive, for Michelle that is from a young man they met while fleeing from their home, Légère.
As tensions increase and the line between life and death becomes akin to a knife’s edge, can Michelle keep herself and her family safe, or will one of them make the wrong move and end it all? This is an emotionally stirring tale of the effects occupation can have from the perspective of a young person who is coming of age and how war and stress can become a part of life. It will leave you feeling like you have been through the ringer with the characters, as you struggle to put down this engaging rollercoaster of a book.

This is the first non romance book I’ve read in a VERY LONG time. And it is now in my top 5 reads for 2022. The research, time and care that went into writing this book resonates through every line. What was extra special about this book was that it’s a story not really told. We mostly hear about what the Jewish community went through during WWll, and easily forget that other countries were kept captives in their own homes. Michelle’s story is something really special and extremely eye opening. The way that her faith carried her through this trying time is something I will always remember.
This is a must read for any Historical Fiction Fan!!

The Letter Carrier By: L.C Lewis Review By: Susan Ratchford 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!

Historical/inspirational story meets Michelle Naget and her translated story of fear and oppression in Ww2. Her easy carefree childhood is instantly destroyed at age 12 when nazis invade and take over her village and live in her home during ww2. This story takes you through what this family endured with their mantra of we do what we must at the core of their survival. I enjoyed I learned about each family member and not just Michelle.
This was heart wrenching and at the same time extremely informative. I feel like on some small level I can understand a tiny fraction of what the Naget family endured. This gripping story is a must read.

Michelle Naget was 12 years old when the German Soldiers arrived in her town. Her life after that was never as carefree as it was when she was growing up. The author did a wonderful job describing what the Naget family went through as the war was coming closer to their town and the change to their lives once the Nazis arrived. The book was a reminder of how many countries were affected by WWII and how many lived through the terrible experiences forced upon them. The book made me think of a time in this world that we should always remember. Thank you Ms. Lewis for sharing this story based on the life of Michelle Naget with all of us.

When I started this book, I had no idea it’s a true story! It’s not my typical genre of book but I’m so glad that I took a shot at this. What a remarkable book! It’s about Michelle Naget and what her family went through while living in France during WWII. The feelings that were brought out while reading this…out of this world. I couldn’t imagine going through what they went through. And no matter what happened, she continued to have faith! The one thing no one could take away. Having a home with your family just to have nazis invading it all?! It’s chaotic and extremely heartbreaking. Knowing that this is a true book makes me love it even more though. It’s a remarkable/heartwarming read but also devastating as hell. The author did really well with this and I’m impressed. I never took myself as someone who enjoys these kinds of reads and I’m not disappointed at all, that I took a chance on it. I’ll be recommending this to my friends!

I was absorbed back in time the moment I started reading. This was such an amazing story about a young girl growing up during WWII and how her and her family overcame the tragedies set before them. I almost felt like I was there living in that time with Mimie. I am no historian but it seemed to me that all the events in the book were accurate. Really what a wonderful and realistic book, it really touches your heart.

I can hardly put into words the impact this story had on me. I have long been intrigued by stories from WWII, but have never read anything prior to now from the perspective of occupied France. The story of Michelle Naget and her family is harrowing, powerful, and breathtaking.
The author did a wonderful job writing this story from the perspective of Michelle Naget in a memoir-type style. It is evident that the author took tremendous care of her story and was well-versed and researched creating an authentic account and story that is so impactful on the reader. Though this was a poignant story, it was also powerful story full of endurance, hope, and faith.
This will be a story that sticks with me forever and has truly made a lasting impact on me!

This was my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it! I haven’t read any historical fiction books about WWII that don’t take place in Germany. It was refreshing to hear about how France was also impacted. The thing I loved about this book is how the details are so clear, but the book isn’t overwhelming traumatizing like previous WWII books I have read. This is a great read if you want another perspective of how the Nazis impacted another country outside of Germany.

Brilliantly written and based on a true story this book was one for the heart. Based in World War II, it is the story of a young girl’s life when the Nazi’s invaded France. A tale of courage, hardships, family ties and the fight for survival. The author has given a voice to past with a sensitivity that is to be admired. I was drawn into the story from start to finish. Highly recommend.

The Naget family have a motto “We do what must be done” and I am here to tell you I completely agree because what must be done is you MUST read this book! I know I have mentioned in previous reviews I have written when a book has had me captivated from start to finish and while that is very true with this book what was even more meaningful to me was that my whole heart was fully engaged in every single written word. I don’t know for sure that even in my most vivid imaginings I could truly understand what this family has gone through but this extremely talented author presents this story to us in such a way that we are given the best opportunity possible to ever understand and feel this families experience. Thank you for opening and expanding my understanding.

The Letter Carrier absolutely took my breath away. Not only is this based on the true life story of a French girl, Michelle Naget, during the German invasion of France during World War II, but it’s a tale of faith, determination, family, and perseverance. The characters of L. C. Lewis are so beautifully written and realistic that it was easy to picture the Naget family together at their house, having dinner together, interacting with one another, and loving one another. Lewis’s descriptions of the French towns and countryside, as well as her accounts of the planes and their attacks, made me feel like I was there with the Naget family preparing a meal, or traveling the roads when the German pilots began to attack. This story made me giggle with the connection the family has with each other. But there is also heartache and worry, as well as anger and horror. The Letter Carrier is so many things rolled into one and I couldn’t put it down!

This book is something that I typically wouldn’t read because it’s not my favorite genre and tends to be pretty heavy emotionally. With that being said, this was a book I couldn’t put down. This historical fiction takes you back to a different era and gives a view of a time not really seen before.

Historical fiction is one of my favourite genres and I have read many books on WWII but this one just struck differently. I think the fact that it was based on a true story and also from the perspective of an ordinary French family in German occupied France during the war years all just gave it a unique twist! I learnt things I never knew and became so invested in the Naget family’s plight that I just couldn’t put it down! Highly recommended!

This is an absolutely beautiful read that was well-researched. I found this book to be very moving and historically accurate.
Michelle and her family are trying to escape before the Nazis take over when they are re-routed back home. However, not all the family members are allowed to return home. Even when they do return, it’s not really home as the Nazis have overtaken everything and made the Nater family their servants in all things.
I can’t imagine the horrors of raising a family during this time in history, not knowing from one moment to the next if the family is in danger or being protected. Young children had to grow up at a remarkedly fast pace and see things that I hope no one, child or adult, would ever have to see.
This is a beautiful read and one that I hope will be well-loved by many!

Normally I do not gravitate towards historical novels that are based on real accounts, but I am glad I did! This book was so wonderful and was not at all what I was expecting to read. This book was recounted through the eyes of a small girl who tells what it is like to have Nazi’s invade their home and village for many years. There was no emotion left unturned as I read this book and could not put it down. I have a new appreciation for the author who wrote this as she went to great lengths to make this book something that could convey the messages that she did and bring what happened many years ago to the forefront of people’s mind and had it where you could imagine what it was like being in their shoes.

The Letter Carrier is my first book by K. C. Lewis. This was a refreshing book which takes place in France. Am amazing coming of age story about WW2. This book really conveys how faith can be someones salvation. It a very emotional read which is based in a true story.

This is based on the real life experiences as seen through the eyes of Michelle Naget. Ms. Lewis did a through job in interviewing Michelle for the details in this book. The story started with the attacks by Germany on France during the second World War. The Naget family first has to flee their home. When they return a few days later, nothing will ever be the same. The Germans began controlling not only the small village of Braquis, where the Michelle’s family live, but even invade their home. Michelle’s step-father (Father) works in his tool shop. Mother teaches Michelle various domestic duties as they are made to serve the different German military officers that have dominated their home throughout the war. Eventually Michelle also must take on the duties of the village’s PTT (which is basically like a mail carrier). Through all the horrors of war, Michelle does the best she can as she tries to survive all the tragedies she had to witness every day. This story was both heartbreaking and captivating.

This story is quite the emotional roller coaster ride but in a good way. It transforms you to another time, another place and allows you to enter what these characters endure from numerous perspectives. Your eyes will open, your heart will open and release but brings clarity to who and how much they’ve endured. Bravo, to the author: Great work!
