"Somewhere in France: A Novel of the Great War" by Jennifer Robson. WWI and romance. (The 2 seem oxymoronic but also perfectly paired.) I like finding another HF book which highlights the various roles to which women (especially the aristocratic) volunteered and assumed in WWI. This book features the Womens Army Auxiliary Corps and ambulance driving on the Western Front.

You piqued my interest and I just got the Kindle version. I've been writing monthly WWI articles about royals and nobles for the royalty website I help administer, so I've been learning more about the history of WWI.

Finished The Truth According to Us by Annie Barrows (co-authored The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Reading Otherwise Fables by Oscar Mandel which I think I'm going to bag in favor of some New Zealand fables. Commuting book is Life After Life by Jill McCorkle which I picked up free/cheap by mistake thinking it was the book of the same title by Kate Atkinson. It's okay, so far, but was looking forward to the other one.
