A brilliant novel with incredible historical details I was mostly unaware of! The Polish people really knew (know) what it means to be resilient and courageous! Indeed, for centuries they have literally been fighting for their country and their freedom. I was very impressed with the overall organisation of their underground lives (they had their own courts, military training...) while being under Nazi rules. I enjoyed the characters, each one of them showing that fighing against oppression is not only achieved through weapons. The strength of family bonds giving them more inner power to go on.... Romance also plays a role, a bit too romantic to feel really realistic, but it does help reading on their more than catastrophic, claustrophobic, violent lives. The author gives extra interesting details about the Warsaw Uprising as well as the quick history of Poland at the end of the book. A great informative and moving novel which I highly recommend!
I received a digital copy of this novel from NetGalley and I am leaving voluntarily an honest review.

Anna Stewart explores the uprising in Warsaw in The Resistance Sisters. With Germany determined to destroy Warsaw and Russia promising to come to their aid, the people of Warsaw revolt. The Dabrowska family joins the fight with each carrying on the battle in their own way. With the Allies almost abandoning Warsaw, it is a story of sacrifice, but it is also a story of a family love like no other.

As a history major, these are the kind of books I just absolutely devour! It was beautifully written and so well done.
