Review: The Secret Keeper by Genevieve Graham

The Secret Keeper by Genevieve Graham reveals the home front effort in Canada through a beautiful tale of family and friendship during World War Two. 

One of my favourite things about Genevieve Graham’s books is her ability to unveil interesting facts about Canada in her historical fictions. As a Canadian historical fiction lover, this makes the stories seem so much more real. 

The Secret Keeper mostly takes place in Oshawa and Toronto, Ontario, and follows the experiences of twin sisters, nicknamed Dot and Dash. Dot is shy and brilliant while Dash is outgoing and seeks adventure. Both sisters join the war effort and find themselves involved in completely different paths, one full of hands-on work and the other in a world of codes and secrets. The sisters and other characters are great and you’ll be rooting for them throughout the story. If you’re from Eastern Ontario, you’ll recognize many of the settings. 

I highly recommend this intriguing story to lovers of historical fiction - especially readers of Kate Quinn and Natalie Jenner. Go read it!
