Continuing the theme of Historical Fiction based in WWII, Sarah first talks about War Brides by Helen Bryan. She then talks about The Sisterhood, also by Helen Bryan, but set in a very different location and time period. What both books have in common, though, besides being Historical Fiction, are strong, female protagonists, mystery, and the bonds of friendship.
