“Season of My Enemy” by Naomi Musch

If We Met in Another Time…..

Fannie can’t believe she is working on her family’s farm beside German POW’s (prisoners of war). Her mother said they couldn’t get their crop harvested without help. Since her brothers are away in the war, and her dad has recently passed away, the only help available are the POW’s. Is Fannie the only one who is afraid these men might turn on them, and try to kill them? Aren’t they being unpatriotic having them on their property?

As time passes, Fannie begins to get to know some of the POW’s. Wolf, an officer and a teacher before the war, has a lot in common with her. But she fluctuates between getting to know him, or feeling she needs to be on guard because he is the enemy and distance herself.

Their crops do get harvested, but things on the farm have disappeared, a fire has broken out in one of their fields, and now, Fannie has been grabbed in the barn. Will she be killed? Can her brother, Calvin, recently home from the war due to injuries, have a normal life again? Does the presence of the POW’s prevent Calvin’s healing? What is Fannie to do with the feelings she has developed?

This story will keep you on the edge of your seat. Since we did have POW’s here during the war, and some were used to make up for the loss of manpower, this could have been a true story. The fear of them would be real, and the author captures all that in a believable story.

This five-star book asks if forgiveness can take place with an enemy who has taken so much. Everyone will like this story, but it will especially be enjoyed by fans of relationships, historical tales, or World War II.
