This had everything that I was looking for from a World War 2 setting. The characters felt like they were supposed to and thought the story worked well in this setting. I thought this felt like a realistic concept and enjoyed how good the characters were. Alan Hlad has a great writing style and can’t wait for more.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. I enjoy historical fiction, especially the World War II era, this book did not disappoint, as always I learned more about the Dunkirk invasion than I had previously known. This book centers on a young American woman Ruth Lacroix who lives in Paris and entertains in a nightclub as a singer, when her French cousin dies in the early days of the war she leaves the nightclub scene and becomes an ambulance driver with her best friend . The main focus of this book is how Ruth and her friend transport patients to the French coast so that the patients can be transported to Britain. The story focuses on Ruth, her friend and the injured RAF pilot they rescued and the harrowing trip they undertook to escape France. This story was excellent, it was well written, it had great character development, excellent pace for the story, it kept me interested. This book had it all, great historical fiction, bit of romance, it showed the grit, determination and the fortitude of people who were impacted by the war. I would highly recommend this book.

Another thrilling WWII novel by the author, who makes the heroic effort to save soldiers at Dunkirk come fully alive. I could not put FLEEING FRANCE down, nor will fans of daring WWII fiction. Recommended!
