From HPB today impulse buys—WWII books with the backs of women on the covers

KadaGul @Texreader I picked up #Parislibrary from Library book sale. I heard good things about it. (edited) 10mo
AlaMich That really has become almost a sub genre in the larger genre. I hope we move past that trend soon! 10mo

Today‘s Prompt: WINTER THEME

WWII was still going on, and Poland was suffering along with all the European countries as families struggled to survive.

Ms. Jenoff has written yet another wonderful, heart wrenching account of WWI​I. The beginning pages grab your attention immediately, and the suspense and interest continues throughout the entire book.
