52 weeks book challenge

This weeks completed book was Vienna Prelude by Bodie Thoene. This is the first in a book series called The Zion Covenant. The story begins in Austria during the early days of Hitler's rise to power. It centers around the lives of two young women, Elisa, a violinist and Leah, a cellist, both who play with the Vienna Symphony. Leah is a full-blodded Jew and Elisa is half Jewish and half German decent. Without spoiling the book-there is suspense and intrigue leading up to a decision Elisa has to make as to whether to help the Zionists even though it may lead her straight into the danger of the third Reich. I highly recommend this work of great historical fiction.
