   Nov 15, 2021 · Recommended: I recommend Daughters of War (#1 in a Trilogy) for fans of fast-paced and well-written WW11 historical fiction, for readers who love a story of siblings and complicated family drama, and for book clubs. Although the story has a satisfactory ending some details hint at what could be next in the trilogy.

   • Transcription by Kate Atkinson. Juliet Armstrong reflects on her life in 1940, when she was recruited by MI5 to spy on Fascist sympathizers in the heart of London.
   • Suite Française by Irène Némirovsky. Though sadly unfinished — Némirovsky was arrested and sent to Auschwitz in 1942 — Suite Française is still a remarkable piece of work.
   • The Night Watch by Sarah Waters. A novel which moves backwards in time, The Night Watch uses this gimmick effectively to explore relationships in war torn London.
   • Goodnight Mr Tom by Michelle Magorian. Willie Beech is evacuated from London to the countryside, and he goes to stay at the home of Tom Oakley in the village of Little Weirwold.

   • Less known is Shusaku Endo’s The Sea and Poison, a heartbreaking novel of Japanese doctors conducting vivisection on captured American soldiers, which, I have to say, made me cry.
