Recommendation RequestLooking for books about WWII from women's perspective
Posted June 7, 2024 by Louhi in Books

I love historical books (both fiction and non-fiction) and an era that specifically interests me is the Second World War. Due to the 80th anniversary of the D-Day there's a lot of coverage in the news etc. but these stories are, unsurprisingly, all about the soldiers.

I'm much more curious about how women (and civilians as a whole) managed during this time and what it was like to live during the war, without fighting in it.

I enjoyed The Women in the Castle and The Nightingale but am now looking for more. Please recommend! Doesn't have to be written by women, about women, though those would be great :)

ETA: So many already, thanks so much everyone! I sure know what I'll be doing this summer lol!
