Reviews of In the Shadow of War

“I love this series of books about the Fry sisters and their mother by Adrienne Chinn. The characters are so well drawn, the locations are described so that you can readily imagine a film or TV series playing out in front of you, and the storyline is really well plotted. It is one of those books that you can’t put down but also don’t want to finish too soon!” 5* Lesley N., NetGalley

“This is a great follow on in the authors series featuring the Fry sisters and their mother Christina. I really enjoyed this book. It is beautifully descriptive and the letters between the sisters and their mother gives the story more depth and really suits it. The characters jump out of the pages and I can picture them vividly in my mind when reading. I was drawn into the story immediately and it held my interest all the way through.” 4* Anne, NetGalley
