WWII Fiction to Read for Women's History Month

by Donna Huber


It's no secret that Susan and I love WWII fiction. The last few years there has been a shift in telling the stories of women during this time period. Some of that has to do with the fact that people have been released from Official Secrets Act (so kids are finding out that their mothers and grandmothers weren't just secretaries during the war but code breakers and spies). I love finding these stories that tell a piece of history that has largely been overlooked. If you are wanting to read something for Women's History Month, but aren't too keen on non-fiction, I've put together a list of some of my favorite WWII fiction featuring women. Some of these are newer while others are a few years old.

by Donna Huber


I love early to mid-twentieth century fiction, particularly if they feature one of the world wars. Since I read Julia Kelly's The Last Garden in England, I've been wanting to read more historical fiction featuring gardens. Posy Lovell has two novels that explore women's rights, racial intolerance, war, and love all against the backdrop of Kew Royal Botanical Gardens in London. The first book The Kew Gardens Girls came out last year and the sequel The Kew Gardens Girls at War comes out next week. If you are like me and didn't get the first book read last year, you have time to pick it up and be ready for book two,
