The siege by Helen Dunmore, War of the rats by David L. Robbins, any of the Station series by David Downing, the Good German by Joseph Kanon . This is my favorite genre
Think I need to re-read this. I didn’t really get what all the fuss was about when I read it. Well written etc but think a lot of it went over my head ?

Off the top of my head: Beneath a Scarlet Sky, Night, Five Chimneys, The Milliner’s Secret, The Shoemaker’s Wife, The Nightingale, The Plum Tree, Henry’s War, The Baker’s Secret, The Sisters of St Croix, Remember Us, Trap in Hitler’s Hell, Everyone Brave is Forgiven, Gazing at the Stars, Saved by the Enemy, The Butterfly & the Violin, A Sparrow in Terezin, The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Society, Sarah’s Key, The Girl from the Train (by Irma Joubert), Once We Were Brothers, and The Girl in the Green Sweater, to name a few.
