Summary
When the Germans march into Denmark, Baron Henrik Ahlefeldt exchanges his nobility for anonymity, assuming a new identity so he can secretly row messages for the Danish Resistance across the waters to Sweden.
American physicist Dr. Else Jensen refuses to leave Copenhagen and abandon her research-her life's dream. While printing resistance newspapers, she hears stories of the movement's legendary Havmand-the merman-and wonders if the mysterious and silent shipyard worker living in the same boardinghouse has something to hide.
When the Occupation cracks down on the Danes, these two passionate people will discover if there is more power in speech . . . or in silence. Bestselling author of more than a dozen WWII novels, Sarah Sundin offers another story of ordinary people responding to extraordinary circumstances with faith, fortitude, and hope for a brighter future.

Great Story Bad Narration
The narrator used very odd slow voices for all of the male characters. I gave up listening and bought the kindle book. The story is great.

I have always loved Sarah Sundin's books, but this one left me, wishing that I had purchased the Kindle version instead. The audio performance was not the best, so stopped listening. Sorry!

Loved narrator & story
Unlike some other readers, I thought the narrator was outstanding. I always love Sarah’s books but was a bit worried that this historical setting is too well known. I stuck with the story and didn’t actually find knowing the big picture history to be distracting at all. The way the Danes pulled together is such an illuminating tale, everyone should know it.

I enjoy everything Sara writes
Love the story, love the characters, love the relationships, love the religious aspect; but did not love the narrator. I understand what she was doing during her performance, but at times it came across forced and flat. Still enjoyed and loved the story. Especially enjoyed the tie in with previous characters from other Sundin books.

Story great- narrator ummmmm
What a great story! I’ve loved these new stand alone books from Sundin, although they are connected a bit. I wish these authors would stick with a good narrator instead of going from one to another. In this book the narrator adopted very weird and slow voices for the other characters. Like, so weird I’ve never heard a narrator do that before much less ever heard anyone talk that way! . It was a bit hard to cope with at first. But I managed to get past it cuz the story was so great!

A pleasant surprise
I actually enjoyed this quite a lot. Historical fiction isn’t usually my jam, but the premise caught my eye.
It was a little more religious than I expected, although I suppose that’s not really out of place given the time frame. I’ve also listened to this narrator before, so maybe I’m just used to her cadence, but I thought she did a great job bringing the story to life.
