Story
Pino Lella wants nothing to do with the war or the Nazis. He's a normal Italian teenager - obsessed with music, food, and girls - but his days of innocence are numbered. When his family home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs, Pino joins an underground railroad helping Jews escape over the Alps, and falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior. In an attempt to protect him, Pino's parents force him to enlist as a German soldier - a move they think will keep him out of combat.

Publisher's Summary
“Mark Sullivan has done it again! The Last Green Valley is a compelling and inspiring story of heroism and courage in the dark days at the end of World War II.” --Kristin Hannah, number one New York Times best-selling author
From the author of the number one best seller Beneath a Scarlet Sky comes a new historical novel inspired by one family’s incredible story of daring, survival, and triumph.
In late March 1944, as Stalin’s forces push into Ukraine, young Emil and Adeline Martel must make a terrible decision: Do they wait for the Soviet bear’s intrusion and risk being sent to Siberia? Or do they reluctantly follow the wolves - murderous Nazi officers who have pledged to protect “pure-blood” Germans?
The Martels are one of many families of German heritage whose ancestors have farmed in Ukraine for more than a century. But after already living under Stalin’s horrifying regime, Emil and Adeline decide they must run in retreat from their land with the wolves they despise to escape the Soviets and go in search of freedom.
Caught between two warring forces and overcoming horrific trials to pursue their hope of immigrating to the West, the Martels’ story is a brutal, complex, and ultimately triumphant tale that illuminates the extraordinary power of love, faith, and one family’s incredible will to survive and see their dreams realized.
Critic Reviews
“Narrator Will Damron shows his vocal range in this work of historical fiction, set in Ukraine during WWII. The cast is large, giving Damron ample opportunity to use his expertise in differentiating characters.… He smoothly slips from the third-person narrator to a variety of voices and accents, making listeners feel present as the dramatic events unfold.” —AudioFile Magazine
“After his triumphant novel Beneath a Scarlet Sky, Mark Sullivan delivers another stunning tour de force. Based on interviews and careful research, The Last Green Valley is the novelization of an inspirational true story featuring human strength, faith, and endurance against all odds.” —Authorlink
“A simply riveting read from cover to cover, The Last Green Valley is a deftly crafted novel that showcases experienced author Mark Sullivan’s exceptional narrative storytelling skills combined with exceptional originality.” —Midwest Book Review

Religious European nationalism disguised as historical fiction
I had thought story it was going to be a historical fiction with religion as a backdrop which is fine. But just be aware that definitely story about how European nationalism and religion opened opportunities because their heritage made them deserving of it. By the time the book ended was ready to gag from the entitlement of it all; won’t be listening to another one of his books. Needs to be labeled under religious fiction not historical fiction.

Way too much religion
While I enjoyed the story in this book, the constant hammering of religion became annoying. In the beginning, it was fine. But the last 4 hours was way over the top in my opinion. I almost couldn't finish the book for this reason. Would have been a much better book with about 80% less religion.

Beneath a Scarlet Sky is the best book I’d ever read. I couldn’t imagine how the author could find another such breathtaking story.
But he did.
This true story of the Martel’s and their harrowing and unbelievable journey in WW2 makes you believe in love, determination and the power of the human spirit.
Listen now but be warned, you won’t be able to stop before learning of the fate of Amil and Adelina.
Another amazing book that reinforces my gratefulness in freedom and the power of love.

Another great story based on true events …
I have just finished ‘The Last Green Valley’ by Mark Sullivan. As a huge fan of ‘Beneath a scarlet sky’ it was on my initial thoughts perhaps a little bit of a let down. However I learnt a lot (I had no idea of the plight of the Ukrainians and other similar nations destroyed by Stalin through famine and fighting) .. but it was just a tad long and drawn out without the total immersion I had in Mark Sullivan’s previous book. Indeed it was even a little ‘theological’ …
That being said by the time I got to the end of the book the whole synopsis made me understand more what the book was actually about and why it was written in such a way .. without any big spoilers one of the main influences in the book has a religious experience whilst in the midst of a horrific battle. His experience is related to the main character who is a non believer. The story is one of strength and courage in absolutely devastating times and the main character and his/her families struggle from famine and fighting to freedom in the west and the protracted traumatizing journey to try and achieve their ambitions.
If you like historical WW2 based literature this is another story by Mark Sullivan based on true life experiences and is well worth a read or listen. I think the great ‘afterword’ really made the whole story very thought provoking and a revelation.
Did not rate as highly as Beneath a Scarlet Sky as the main characters were maybe not quite as engaging but still a book which will rank in my top 5 this year

This is one of the most beautiful written and spoken books I have ever read. Whilst it is full of suffering it is equally full of faith, love and endurance. It gave me a very different look on my own faith even though mine has never been tested in such a way. I thank the author a great deal for bringing this story about and I am blessed that I found it. I highly recommend it to all.

Brilliant, An important book
Wonderful narration, easy voice to listen to.
This book is profound.
It’s devastating to read the historical details from the German perspective for a change.
Many Germans suffered horrifically in WW2
I didn’t know a lot about this.
It’s a story of hope too though, of resilience in the face of the absolute worst of situations and how it’s possible to live after suffering so much.
Beautifully written.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC
WOW, I have over 1000 audible books in my library and this book ranks in the top five. It is beautifully written and although very sad in parts it is written with so much compassion it makes it bearable to read. I cannot believe this all happened to many people, in particular to this families story. The courage and strength but also the moral convictions that they stood by against such oppression leaves me in complete awe of this and many other families that have lived through war. I think every single human being on this planet should read this book. The narrator did an outstanding job as well so well done to him. please please read this book I guarantee you will love it.

Amazing story
Probably one of the best stories I have read. I could picture all the scenes as if I was there myself and utterly thankful I wasn’t.
Couldn’t stop listening and at the same time didn’t want it to end.
I watched a documentary recently called Radical Evil that portrayed the evil of the Nazis in WW2. This book showed the endurance possible by people to overcome Evil and hardship.

Amazingly brilliant book
I learned so much from this brilliantly written, and spoken book about what sadly happened to so so many people after the war had ended. The inspiration and belief in family and survival is at the heart of this story. Adeline quote, “I used to think life was something that happens too me, but now I know life happened for me” is one I will carry with me. It’s a long book but I couldn’t get enough, one I would certainly recommends

Extraordinary
Amazing story of love and endurance. No one should forget the suffering of WW11 and the years in the Soviet Block afterwards. Well narrated and chillingly accurate. A book that everyone should read.
Thank you Mark Sullivan
