In reply to susan. As a book lover it did warm my snarky heart! It was so perfectly British throughout.

It seems like the Uncommon Reader really boosted your November. I liked it a lot too. It’s like finding a gem in a haystack. Quite refreshing.

In reply to Laura @ What to Read Next Podcast. There are so many other better WWII novels about women. If you haven't read The Nightingale you should. It's one of my favorites.

I own Lilac Girls but haven’t been compelled to pick up. Thank you for your review. It may be a while before I pick it up. I am . planning on reading The Witch Elm over the holiday break.

In reply to Susie | Novel Visits. I think I'm done with women in WWII novels for awhile. There's a new one coming out early next year, but I'm not even going to request it. Witch Elm was good not great. I'm reading The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter right now and barring a massive change I'd highly recommend it. I don't want to put it down. I'm on a thrillers streak!

I’m sorry Lilac Girls didn’t work for you. As you know, I loved it. The Alice Network is another WWII novel…don’t bother. I didn’t like it much at all. I’ve been back and forth on Witch Elm, but am leaning towards skipping it after getting only 3 stars from you.

In reply to Renee (Itsbooktalk). I don't know that book. Was it similar to Lilac Girls?

In reply to Laila@BigReadingLife. I loved that novel! I need to check and see if the author has written anything else.

Have you read Kitchens of the Great Midwest? That’s a charming foodie novel I read and loved earlier this year.

I’ve tried The Alice Network but didn’t get too far before I put it down but I don’t remember why…maybe that was a good decision. Your take on it is different from the tons of raving reviews which I appreciate!
