 | I'll Bring You Buttercups by Elizabeth Elgin
Buy used from: £0.01 There are four excellent books in this series which tracks a family from before WW1 to the end of WW2 - this is the first.
|
 | All the Sweet Promises by Elizabeth Elgin
Buy used from: £0.01 Another by Elizabeth Elgin. I highly recommend all her WW2 novels.
|
 | Goodbye Sweetheart (Street at War) by Lilian Harry
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01 Again, the first is a series of four, following the inhabitants of a street through WW2.
|
 | Corner House Girls by Lilian Harry
Buy used from: £0.01 First in a series of three. Not as good as Ms Harry's other series in my opinion but still more than worth a look.
|
 | The Pathfinder by Margaret Mayhew
Buy used from: £0.01 An interesting perspective on Germany in the aftermath of the War.
|
 | Bluebirds by Margaret Mayhew
Buy used from: £0.01 Ms Mayhew has written a number of books in this time period, all of which are worth a read although they are not as good as some in this list.
|
 | Lights Out Liverpool by Maureen Lee
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01 The first in a series which again follows the families of one street through the War.
|
 | That Summer by Andrew Greig
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01 The Battle of Britain from the perspective of a RAF pilot and the radar operator he loves.
|
 | Charlotte Gray by Sebastian Faulks
Buy new: £5.59 / Used from: £0.01 Harrowing at times, this made a six hour train journey fly by. The book is miles better than the film, which messed with the ending unforgivably.
|
 | Enigma by Robert Harris
Buy used from: £0.01 Another example of the source novel being better than the film, and an interesting insight into codebreaking in WW2 (especially when compared to Elizabeth Elgin's treatment of the Enigma machine).
|
 | Chocolate Girls by Annie Murray
Buy new: £3.83 / Used from: £0.01 A book sponsored by Cadburys. How commercial but a combination of my two favourite things so I won't complain. It's a good solid read if not an instant classic.
|
 | Lavender Road (London at war) by Helen Carey
Buy used from: £0.01 The first of three books following a London street at War - I read all three in a weekend and enjoyed them all very much.
