My favourite read in Novembers for #12Booksof2024 was this latest book by Heather Morris.

This tells the story of women taken prisoner by the Japanese in World War II and the horrific time they had in the far East Prison camps. This one has all the feels and think I even prefer it to the her European prison camp books.

Also a notable mention for The Templar Secret by Scott Mariani, the last book in one of my favourite all time series - Ben Hope.

2/27.

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent​ - you won‘t want to put it down.

We hear the story of Audrey and Kate - 1939 and 2010 as they meet for the first time and learn of each other‘s lives.

Fictionalized story line based on a real person.

A story about loyalty, friendship, and doing what you know is right.

Historical fiction and women‘s fiction fans will adore this book.

You will love both women. ​5/5

It was a strange feeling to read this story about German POWs in lower Michigan during WWII. I never knew POW camps existed in Michigan until I was an adult, and to discover this story has a connection to the teeny (teeny) tiny town I spent my early childhood in was just bizarre. I enjoyed the verse and the POVs of these two characters. I did not enjoy the very abrupt ending, though it's certainly fitting in any book on WWII.
