Download We Shall Not Sleep: A World War One Novel #5 AudioBook Free
Anne Perry’s amazing Victorian mysteries proven her as one of the world’s most widely known and enjoyed historical novelists. Now, in her vividly imagined World War I novels, Perry’s abilities “took a quantum leap” (The Star-Ledger), therefore has the amount of her devoted readers. We Shall Not Sleep, the ultimate book in this epic series featuring the dedicated Reavley family, is perhaps the most memorably enthralling of most Perry’s novels.
After four long years, peace is finally in sight. But chaplain Joseph Reavley and his sister Judith, an ambulance driver on the Western Front, are more hard pressed than ever before. Behind the lines, violence is increasing: soldiers are abusing German prisoners, a nurse has been raped and murdered, and the sinister ideologue called the Peacemaker now threatens to undermine the peace equally as he did the war.
Then Matthew, the 3rd Reavley sibling and an intelligence expert, suddenly arrives at leading with startling news. The Peacemaker’s German counterpart has wanted to go to England and expose his co-conspirator as a traitor. But with war still raging and prejudices inflamed, such a journey would be fraught with hazards, especially because the Peacemaker has secret informers everywhere, even on the battlefield.
For richness of plot, character, and feeling, We Shall Not Sleep is unmatched. Anne Perry’s brilliantly orchestrated finale is a heartstopping tour de force, mesmerizing and totally satisfying.
