A Portrait
of Loyalty - The Codebreakers - Book 3 - Roseanna M. White
***EXCELLENT
END TO THE WWI SERIES***
Zivon
Marin / Evgeni Marin - Two Russian brothers battle for what they believe is
right and just for the future of the world, each shrouded in covert operations
during the war. "He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he
breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder: he burneth the chariot in
the fire. Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen,
I will be exalted in the earth."
Lilian
Blackwell deals in her own clandestine maneuvers; extremely talented behind her Kodak No.1 Autographic Special, model A camera and in the darkroom. "Something about him struck her as
photographic, as if he were already a still life captured on film. What would
he look like when actually put to paper? Would the camera see the same thing
her eyes did, or would it not translate into a photograph, where everything was
caught in a moment devoid of motion? No. She'd learned to capture motion - or
its story, anyway - with her camera. She would just have to see if she could
capture its opposite too. A challenge she'd never taken up before, but one she
was determined to meet.
Tea
Quote: Perhaps she would see if Ara would like to have tea or something. They
rarely had the chance to socialize outside of Charing Cross (hospital).

This
story is chock full of information & wonderful detail. I loved how it was woven through the tense
war years, the 1918 flu epidemic, and the faith of believers vs the
righteousness of non-believers. I also
found it precious that people brought together during those difficult days
could still find love, clinging to one another for support. I was NOT prepared for the part of the story
that brought me to sobbing tears. It was
very emotional and definitely required pause and tissues. Very well written and highly recommended.
"His promises have not changed just because my circumstances have. He is
still the giver of all. The lover of our souls. No matter how bad our
situation, He is still good. All we have to do is look for Him."
I
received a complimentary eBook from the author via NetGalley, in exchange for
my honest opinion. All opinions are my own without compensation or further
expectation.

SYNOPSIS: Zivon Marin was one of Russia's top cryptographers, until the October
Revolution tore apart his world. Forced to flee after speaking out against Lenin
and separated from his brother along the way, he arrives in England driven by a
growing anger and determined to offer his services to the Brits.
Lily
Blackwell sees the world best through the lens of a camera--and possesses
unsurpassed skill when it comes to retouching and recreating photographs. With
her father's connections in propaganda, she's recruited to the intelligence
division, even though her mother would disapprove.
After
Captain Blackwell invites Zivon to dinner one evening, a friendship blooms
between him and Lily. He sees patterns in what she deems chaos; she sees beauty
in a world he thought destroyed. But both have secrets they're unwilling to
share. When her photographs reveal that someone has been following Zivon, his
loyalties are called into question--and his enemies are discovered to be far
closer than he'd feared.
