Grabs Your Attention Mar 16, 2010
and holds it. I throughly enjoyed "Evensong" by M. L. St. Sure. This historical novel has all the elements of a great book. It has strong characters who are well developed and easy to identify with. The author includes such strong imagery that you feel that you know the characters, have experienced what they are experiencing. The main character is Christina Cross. She is a young woman who has recently moved to a forgein country, France, during the 1940's. She had recently lost her father and her mother disapproves of her. She heads to France to escape, succeed. The author does an amazing job detailing this young girls emotions. He doesnt stop here. Throughout the book, his desciptions are powerful and emotion evoking. The 1940s are filled with lots of sadness and turmoil for everyone and Christina is no different. You will enjoy reading her story that is filled with love, sadness, adventure and even happiness. This book has it all and you will enjoy reading it from start to finish.
 A Woman and War Mar 14, 2010
"Evensong" by M. L. St. Sure is a historical novel set during the time of World War II. It is the story of Christina Cross, a young woman that travels to France after her father's death to serve in the French resistance. The character of Christina is beautifully crafted by M. L. St. Sure making you feel as if you are with her as she journeys from America to France with her sister Nicolette. You feel the raw emotions as Christina rescues babies from Nazis camps and when Nicolette is captured and sent to one of Hitler's work camps where she is used as a test subject for bio weapons. "Evensong" is a riveting story that made me laugh and it made me cry. A great book that I found fast paced, interesting and enjoyable.
Eversong Mar 12, 2010
Easy read and interesting, I completed it in three days. Eversong brings the reader to a difficult and emotinally charged period in our history, World War II. The author not only captivates you with historical details but entertains the reader by intertwining the novel with love and romance. The emotional conflict and physical pain experienced by the individual brought me to tears. The ending was something I never expected but was very thought provoking.

A good book. Feb 26, 2010
"Evensong" by M. L. St. Sure, is more than just a novel about war and the effects it has on people. It is the tragic story of a girl whose life is changed by the events of and surrounding World War II. Christina is a wonderful character who is forced to make some difficult decisions in order to save the ones she loves.
Though I don't typically enjoy books filled with romance, but I found that I liked this one. The author includes enough details about the world situation, the resistance, and politics of war that it keeps the reader interested.

Stirring Feb 24, 2010
Evensong takes us up close and personal into a very real and seldom-considered real life side of war-torn Paris. Perfectly illustrated with the sights, sounds an psychological pushes and pulls of a conflict-weary Europe, this story warms the heart, tugs at the tear ducts and arouses esprit de corps. An excellent read.
