Feb 27 Book Review: The Echo of Valor by Hannah Byron

   



The Echo of Valor by Hannah Byron
This wartime book about codename Rose starts when Eileen and her sister want to help in the resistance. They figure out a  plan to travel to the area. Each has their own special traits that will lead them in different directions to help fight against the enemy. 
Book follows Eileen as she lands a job as a wire transfer agent. They accept her after training to enter France to help pass codes back and forth from agents to those in charge in England. There are so many realistic scenes that kept me engaged in the story. Also story goes back in time to the war itself and how she served her country. So realistic scenes of the concentration camps and how she and others were able to survive. She can only truly rely on herself. 
Back in 2007 the therapist Mia helps her get the stories out of her head so she can rest in peace. The nightmare are keeping restful sleep from her. Love the time they spend together and the house Mia is able to open because of her work with Eileen. The reporter Sebastian also helps to get her story told to others, especially those who are disabled now and had fought in the war as well.
At end of the story the author explain the passages she changed to make the story better without changing history much.
Fascinating read and there is something for everyone in this story.
