The Betrayal: The Top Ten Bestseller

I have discovered quite of few new authors (to me) that are now becoming favorites. The twists and turns in the plots were believable, informative and held my interest until 3 AM

It’s not a great as her other books she has written in the past.

I’m really torn with this book. On the one hand, it was excellently researched with a clear storyline and strong female characters. On the other hand, I found it difficult to get into and despite lots of action, a relatively slow read.

Although I disliked several of the characters, that doesn’t usually prevent me from enjoying a book of this genre. This had a different angle on the events leading up to WWII (and I have read many books set in that era). Ultimately it was enjoyable but not very satisfying until towards the end.

The writing of the last 25% of the book was much stronger and brought the strands together. I found the characters came more to life in this part of the book and was intrigued as to who would ultimately betray who.

A good 3.5* from me.

not a good story it is hard to believe even one line

Kate Furnivall is wonderful writer

Very good, as are all her books.

A story set in France just before the start of WWII, with twin sisters who have extremely opposing points of view……sisters who both have secrets to hide….well this is just my kind of thing. When you add in the other ingredients of their family background, the sense of adventure and freedom then it gets even better.

It’s got the Furnival stamp of quality research and evocative writing all over it. I was immersed in the Paris of the 1930s with the smallest and subtlest of details.The war staining the streets and people’s minds in every which way, the cafes on the corner, the dark dress and hurried walks of those passing by. Present day political loyalties are tested to the extreme and it ‘s through the two sisters that this is best examined. Romaine makes regular journeys as a pilot to Spain in support of the Nationalist cause. Florence however, is to be found trying to broker a peace agreement between the Nazis and the French government. The sisterly bonds, loyalties v individual needs, war time which changes everything and you have a complex yet intriguing read. Nicely layered and once I’d come to the end, I sat and thought about many things I had just read and wondered which sister I would have been, what I would have done. That for me, is the mark of a good book.

Kate’s new book is out soon and I can’t wait.

Haven’t finished so far not enjoyable like all the other Kate books...

Great story , her books are always entertaining and fast paced.Love it....can't wait for the next one...

Twin sisters living in Paris in 1938 - one a socialite the other a pilot - each on opposing sides of the impending war - each having flashbacks to a tragic event in their lives - loving a child and each other as one. Enthralling.
