Miss Morgan's Book Brigade

I really enjoyed this novel of World War I. Told with dual timelines set sixty years apart, during World War I and the late 1980's, Miss Morgan's Book Brigade made these women seem as alive as they were more than 40 and 100 years ago.. Although I swore I had read enough war novels, this one seemed to grab me right from the beginning. How could I resist the idea that rebuilding a devastated society required not only food, supplies, and medical care, but also free access to books for everyone, especially children!

Although I thought the World War I story was much more compelling than the one set in the 1980's, the two did work together to make an enjoyable novel. One of my favorites of the year so far!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
