Catching the Wind

This is a gut-wrenching, seat-of-your-pants type of story--following two children, Bridgette and Dietmar, trying to escape the Nazi's during WWII. It's captivating and mysterious, and covers the two time periods nicely. I love dual time period stories, delving into different eras, customs, and such, and finding the ties that bind the stories together. 

Melanie Dobson is a gifted storyteller, creating believable characters and steady storylines that make me want to turn the pages faster (to learn what happens) and slow down my reading (so I can savor the characters as long as I can.) 

If you enjoy historical fiction, I recommend this. The characters are sympathetic and the dual storylines don't distract from each other. Great read.
