I just finished Bakers Secret. What part of WWII are you interested?
All of it lol. The time when everything was still alright, the Holocaust, and when the Jews were freed
If you are interested in the Jews and WWII, read Leon Uris. He wrote several novels in the 1970s that were wonderful
The Nazi officers wife is a true story.
Daughters of the Night sky is a wonderful tale of the female Soviet fighter pilots
Are you interested in Russia and ww2 at all? BTW I’m A WWII historian.
Bletchley Girls is good
Novels about Jews, birthright, Karolinas Twins, the first two books in the Roberta Kagan series,
Yes I love Russia. I’d read anything about it, not just ww2 lol
@Heather for Russia and WWII historical novels, read City of Thieves, required reading in my Russian history class.
I loved The Bronze Horsemen by Paulina Simons. Also Rasputin Daughter and the Kitchen Boy

I love historic true crime during WW II. Like “Death in The City of Light”, a true story about Marcel Petoit, a serial killer in Nazi occupied Paris. Fascinating.

Dear Mrs Bird by AJ Pearce and Bookouture have quite a few new releases in ebook set in wartime if you have a look on their site.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society was fantastic. If We Perish is the nonfic account of nurses on the frontlines. I loved it.
I can’t find If We Perish on Goodreads. Do you know who wrote it?
Guernsey held my attention. Loved the writing format of letters.
