Book Review: The Call of Destiny – Codename Violette by Hannah Bryon

  


The Call of Destiny by Hannah Byron




The Call of Destiny – Codename Violette by Hannah Bryon
Story follows two different sets of characters.
Albert and Sigal are from 2020's (covid throughout the world) and he is able to educate her about her past. She had gotten separated from her father when her parents divorced and he headed to US. Her mom remarried and they stayed in England area. She wants to lend her aide for SOE.

1930's Muriel  We find Codename Violette as she has gone through training and is ready to head to France to help with coding messages.  She has gotten a special compact from Maurice and keeps it with her always. They do meet up from time to time in France and he's proposed to her...
Story also follows Sigall's grandmother and Albert's grandfather during the war.

What I like about this book are the emotions that come through that eally make a difference to the story and plot. There are twists and turns during the war as they struggle to serve England by helping others in war torn countries.

Violette knows how to avoid the troops that could capture her, she changes her route daily.
Love how the whole lot of them are connected by blood.  At times it just didnt' seem possibl eto me. What  ag reat mystery and romantic story.

Descriptions are so detailed I can sense the calm while sitting near the stone wall looking at the water and birds are singing. To think they are within a mile of the war...
Love ending from the author and how she wrote the story and who is who. Love bonus chapters, brings the whole book together, past meets the future.
