8 - I would have hated to live during this time period. Hitler was not a good leader. It would have been scary to be a Jew being smuggled out of the country in the underground to get away from Hitler's reign. Good ending - never thought Erik would just let Gabby go free. I thought they would outrun him trying to find them. Storybook ending for Gabby and Dai. (It always seems in every book I've read in this series that some of the names are very unusual...)

Dr. Gabrielle Winslow meets Erik, a German officer, during Hitler's time. She flees to Holland, but Germany takes Holland, also. She becomes part of the underground, getting Jews, and important scientists (one of whom is her uncle), out to an allied country.

The Gypsy Moon was a story of World War II and the courage of a group that worked to save Jews from arrest. I loved the twist at the end.

Excellent

A great historical novel with a good plot and incorporation of significant events around WORLD WAR II. Highly recommend this book.

Welcome to the Gypsy Moon! This is one of the few remaining novels in the House of Winslow Series by Gilbert Morris. This story focuses on the life of Gabrielle Winslow also known as Gabby.
Synopsis:
Gabby is on top of the world! She has a date with one of the most popular boys at school. As the date draws to a close her date brings her to a popular park near their homes. A band of gypsies are there and they are invited to share in the activities. Gabby meets Jana an older gypsy who is a Christ follower. She tells Gabby’s fortune about who her true love will eventually be. Her words repeat through Gabby’s head as the years go by. Since this the earlier date she has become a doctor and gone to live with her aunt Liza and her uncle Dalton. There have been many men in her life but none who meet Jana’s standards. Her Uncle Dalton is invited to work at the University of Berlin and he makes a discovery. It might help the war efforts. Germany desperately wants him to stay and finish his work. Enter Dai Bando an English spy who has to seek help from Gabby to rescue her aunt and uncle. Will he convince her that he can help? Will Gabby make it safely out of Germany?
My Thoughts:
Did Gilbert Morris come up with another winner? The answer is yes. This novel included some interesting historical characters from Josephine Hellinger to Adolf Hitler and his Nazis. I felt that Gabby’s story had so many twists and turns that it kept me interested throughout the novel.
The novel is actually set in Great Britain, The Netherlands, and Germany. The only part of the novel that wasn’t my cup of tea is how the story meandered in places.

Another book in the House of Winslow series down, I will finish this series this year I'm determined! We have hit WWII, just started in this book. While you know everything is going to be ok in the end you lose some people along the way and always waiting to find out what miracle God will work to save these people. In this case the ending was a tad cliche but overall the adventure was fun.

[Rachel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series by Gilbert Morris is one of my absolute favorites. Each book follows at least one member of a generation in the Winslow family tree and the member(s) gets saved and finds true love. There's also some commentary on the social conditions of the time frame. Truly interesting.

Not as good as I thought it was previously.
