A Whisper of Freedom
By Tricia Goyer
Review by Roseanna White 

 

The war in Spain is escalading, and so is the hunt for Inca Gold. Sophie is grateful to have escaped from her former fiancé with both treasure to help the Spanish people and the man she loved—but the future is still so uncertain.  When she came to Spain, she never imagined how deeply into its troubles she would be pulled. . . and the high price she’d pay for her involvement.

A Whisper of Freedom is the third and final installment in the Chronicles of the Spanish Civil War, and the book follows all the characters introduced in earlier books as they march toward their respective homes. Sophie, Phillip, and Walt are on the run from Michael and the Fascists with a priceless treasure; Michael is determined at any cost to find those who betrayed him; Jose is determined to save not only his precious horses but his wife; Ritter seeks favor in Hitler’s ever-stronger government; Berto and Father Manuel grow their friendship in Paris and each strive to find God’s purpose for putting them there.

Any readers of this series will definitely want to pick up this concluding novel; newcomers will want to read the previous books first.  I hadn’t, and though the story still made sense and drew me indelibly in, I’m still dying to know the details of what came before and will have to go back and fill in the blanks with the first two books. 

It’s easy to see why Tricia Goyer has plenty of awards to her name.  She writes with honesty and poetry, unafraid to look into any situation and any heart, shedding humanity and God’s grace upon it.  I was drawn into this story not only because of the mystery of Inca Gold or the adventure of a little-known war, but because the characters were people—people I feel as though I’ve met before and whose lives I’m now a part of.  This was my first Tricia Goyer book, but it will not be my last!
