Please share the first line of the book you’re reading in the comments below.Sundin does it yet again with a fantastic story that brings little known parts of World War II history to light!Īs the Germans march into Denmark, not a single shot is fired in opposition. I highly recommend this profoundly moving story to fans of WWII history, and fans of authors like Roseanna M. Sundin’s masterful storytelling ability really shines telling stories of faith, courage, and conviction highlighted by this unique period in history. Readers will also enjoy cameos by characters from When Leaves Fall in Paris and When Twilight Breaks. This beautifully written story will inspire you to be the sound of light in your own life, just as Else and Hemming were in theirs.
The attention to detail, rich character development, and moments of action and intensity all work together to create an unforgettable story. In addition to the rich history, one of the things that sets Sundin’s books apart is the way she naturally weaves in spiritual themes. I had never read much about Denmark’s role in the war, but it is fascinating as told through the story of Else, the physicist, and Hemming, the baron-turned-resistance-fighter. Sarah Sundin brings a little-known facet of WWII history to life in The Sound of Light.

When the Germans march into Denmark, Baron Henrik Ahlefeldt exchanges his nobility for anonymity, assuming a new identity so he can secretly row messages for the Danish Resistance across the waters to Sweden.
