Forever fleeting is a historical fiction book by Bret Kissinger published in the year 2018. The book represents the most horrifying war in history with so much intense pain and undying love.
The book cover gave me sad yet beautiful vibes. It beautifully portrayed two souls madly in love with each other but their fate has decided something else for them. Once I opened this book it introduced me to something which will stay in my heart forever. War is something that leaves you with nothing, no matter if you win or lose.
Book Review: Forever Fleeting by Bret Kissinger
We always heard stories in which two people are madly in love, but does every story have a happy ending? Sometimes a happy ending is not something we have known for so long, it’s something more.

Plot ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Everything was going smoothly in Hannah and Wilhelm’s life until the German Army invaded Poland in 1939. War was not only going between nations but many relations were at war, hoping they could survive it. Hannah and Wilhelm’s relationship too got their share of challenges. Hannah was sent to a camp in Auschwitz and Wilhelm was fighting in a war that he had not initiated in the first place. They both craved each other since they were separated by the war.
They both have to pass the test of time in order to be together. As the war accelerated they suffered the atrocities, built themselves stronger, and longed for each other.
War only ended in the hypothetical world but it continued for Hannah and Wilhelm as they could find each other after so many decades.
