Unputdownable
This is the first book in a six part series, following the lives of several key characters in a South London community, from the outset of WW2 to VE Day. The novels just get stronger and stronger and the action moves into the European conflict too. The characters are really well drawn, the women are strong, there ls humour, romance, action, pathos and Just purely compelling storylines. Recommended for any reader who likes a brilliant ongoing series. I’ve loved all the books thus far. Last one comes out in April 2018. Hope others will enjoy too.

Amazing character depth
The most tragic thing I've ever watched.

Amazing story set in the latter end of WW2, focusing on a preteen boy and his little sister. There isn't many happy moments in this one. And it hits hard.

In this collection of eight short stories, Shankman tells the tales of Włodawa during WW2, uniting fact and fiction with a smattering of magical realism. Find out more about this lovely collection in my review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2016/02/23/wlodawas-wars/

This movie was a very touching story on how during ww2 while the Nazis were trying to take over a family saved dozens hiding in their zoo. Even after the husband was taken prisoner and was feared dead the wife refused to give up getting everyone to safety before they were taken.

Another history book that reads like a novel, Hasting's is such a good writer. It's really interesting to see another side of WW2, and it demonstrates how much was done in secret. The book covers Bletchley Park, the Cambridge Spy Ring, and other behind the scenes operations, both for and against the allies.
