The Whispers of War | 
#bookreport November3-9, 2024
Still reading the 4 non fiction books-I did not get to Burning Down the House this week-too much happening in our political lives here. Of the 3 books I finished, Dissolution ranked first-new to me series, then The Rising Tide- Ann Cleeves never disappoints! The Antique Hunters Guide to Murder was an interesting cozy, opening up a previously unknown world to me. #serieslove2024 #readyourkindle

I loved my last read so much I‘ve already ordered one of the author‘s previous books! And another drool-worthy cover!
Best of friends in the worst of times, three women are tested as England is threatened on the brink of WWII. Nora works for the Home Office, Hazel is a successful Matchmaker, and Marie of German descent works at the University. When Poland is invaded, England goes to war and thus begins the internment of enemy aliens. The bonds of friendship run deep and they will do anything to keep Marie from being interned even defying their country.
pickI've literally never read a book where Trent, Ontario was! I liked this. I loved all 3 main girls and the different aspects of society they came from and represented. We glorify countries who fought the Nazis and then totally ignore all the xenophobic and racist things we did. We talk a tiny bit about Japanese internment camps in Canada but I've literally never heard anyone mention what we did to people of German origins.
pickHave you ever just picked up a book on a lark and hope your gamble pays off? That‘s what I did with this book and the gamble paid off in SPADES! I was captivated by page one and binge read the story in a day. Full of heart and history, the characters will snare you from the get-go. You quite possibly need a box of Kleenex handy. At least I did.

Just so so
