Yours Is the Night by Amanda DykesMy rating: 💛💛💛
Amanda Dykes really has a beautiful way of telling a story and to draw a reader in. This story set in WW1 was no exception. Fans of Amanda Dykes' previous works will love this one as well.
I think I might just not have been in the mood for such a "heavier" read. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator gave each POV (5) an unique voice, but I did find myself a bit confused with which one I'm at now and then.
This book has a high rating on Goodreads and if you enjoyed this author's previous works, you will most likely love this one as well.
And the cover is stunning!

About the book:
A mysterious song in the forest. . .
A discovery in war-torn France. . .
A journey toward hope.
Private Matthew Petticrew arrives in France as part of the American Expeditionary Forces, an arrival which a war-weary France desperately hopes will help to end the turmoil. Having faced unthinkable things on the front, he is captivated by the sound of a lullaby, sung by a voice so pure he knows he must have imagined it. But rumors sweep through the trenches like wildfire, dubbing the voice "The Angel of Argonne", a mysterious presence who leaves behind wreaths on unmarked graves and footprints in the war-pocked soil.
Raised wild in the depths of the Forest of Argonne, France, Mireilles finds her world rocked when war comes crashing into the idyllic home she has always known, taking much from her. When Matthew discovers Mireilles, three things are clear: She is alone in the world, she cannot stay, and he and his two unlikely companions might be the only ones who can get her to safety.
