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.

When I think of historical fiction set during the second world war, Sarah’s Key is one of the books that immediately comes to mind. This dual-timeline story is absolutely heartbreaking and leaves me in a puddle every time I read it. But it’s also a really compelling story about the reality of occupied France during this time period. A beautifully w...
The Alice Network is a gorgeously written, dual-timeline novel. For fans of historical fiction, this book is a popular read full of heart. While it’s technically set a couple of years following the second world war, it still makes this list as the aftermath of the war is very much a part of the story. (From the publisher) An enthralling novel from ...
The Paris Apartment by Kelly Bowen has been one of my top reads of 2021.The story flashes back and forth between two separate timelines: 2017, when Aurelia Leclaire inherits a surprise Parisian apartment from her grandmother, and 1942, when glamorous Estelle Allard works to protect those she loves from the forces occupying her beautiful city.

The Lost Wife was one of my first introductions to historical fiction set in WWII, and as a young-adult, this book was one of my absolute favorites. (From the publisher): There on her forearm, next to a small brown birthmark, were six tattooed numbers. ‘Do you remember me now?’ he asked, trembling. She looked at him again, as if giving weight and b...
Beautifully written, this story takes us through WWII and into the decade beyond as survivors continue to process and seek justice. The Fortunate Ones feels real and raw and packed with emotion. (From the publisher:)Every day he stood exactly where he was directed. Listening for his number, he shouted his answer in the freezing cold. He was ragged ...
This epistolary is a beautiful and easy-to-read collection of letters and newspaper articles. The dialogue is witty and full of heart, and the characters are lovable and wonderfully flawed. Things We Didn’t Say completely changed my opinion on epistolary style novels — for the better! (About the book:)Headstrong Johanna Berglund is a linguistics st...
The Book of Lost Names is fast-paced historical novel inspired by a true story from World War II. A young woman with a talent for forgery helps hundreds of Jewish children flee the Nazis, recording their names to preserve who they really are.
