Tricia N. Goyer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2008

Battles heat up... not only those being waged by the soldiers on both sides fighting for Spain, but in the hearts and minds of the men and women who must sacrifice more than their dreams in order to save the lives of their loved ones. In this meticulously researched novel, brave and idealistic Sophie, Philip, Jose, and Deion realize their only hope for freedom is escaping Spain's borders. By continuing the story of this band of volunteers during the Spanish Civil War, A Whisper of Freedom proves that courage and commitment don't always result in outward victory. But there are whispers of hope and freedom that resonate through even the darkest night.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4 1/2 Stars...Hidden Treasure, June 5, 2008

If you love history and mystery, if you love great characters, then you are in for a treat reading Tricia Goyer's novels. She gave us new insights into WWII in her first few novels, but she goes into mostly unexplored territory with her Spanish Civil War series. It's a risky endeavor, writing about subjects not fully understood, and Goyer took a big jump in plumbing the depths of this subject.

"A Whisper of Freedom" is a wonderful conclusion to another great set of books by one of my favorite authors. We again follow Sophie's struggle between love for Michael and Phillip, and her place in the discovery of long lost Inca gold. We see Deion, and Ritter, and Jose. We find out the truth about Maria and her child. There is so much here, and Goyer pulls all the threads together. For some, this might be too much to digest, yet Goyer never apologizes for her obvious love of her characters. She allows us to spend time with each one, and for those willing to take the journey, it's a rewarding one.

To dig into a Tricia Goyer novel is to search for hidden treasure. She's not going to hand it over without some effort, but the results are worth it. Her research is exemplary, her details faultless, and she shows unflagging respect for the people and stories that have brought us to this point in history.

This is the third and last book of the series. It gives us a look at at the war and tells a good story in doing so. It is a good read but I would highly recommend reading the first two in the series.

This review is from: A Whisper of Freedom (Chronicles of the Spanish Civil War Series, Book 3) (Paperback)

A Whisper of Freedom by Tricia Goyer is the third and final book in the Chronicles of the Spanish Civil War series. It picks up almost immediately after book 2 (I recommend reading the two back to back). Sophie, Phil, and Walt have escaped with the truckload of gold they stole from Michael. Deion is still fighting, not only in the trenches but his feelings for Gwen as well. Jose and Ramona remain separated by their individual quests, and Father Manuel is still in Paris trying to find for what purpose God brought him there. Each one of these stories is powerful in its own right and could carry a book, but Goyer wraps them all together under the mantle of the Spanish Civil War and creates a book that is filled with tension and drama. Secret brothers, hidden gold, and politics make for a book that's tough to put down. Goyer has a talent for creating realistic characters and dialogue that allow the reader to be in the moment. She ends this series well, while there are some loose ends, the book ends with hope.
