Favorite Book and Book - Reading WW2 era books
Lately, I've read many WW2 era books featuring women spies and women who stepped up. Recently, I found a WW2 book set in Marseille. The protagonist ran an office which helped Jewish creatives escape. Because of the setting, one of my favorite books came to mine-Madam, Will You Talk? by Mary Stewart.
Set after the war, a young widow travels with her friend to Nice to refresh and lightly explore. She meets a troubled young boy who is obviously avoiding an elegant woman married to his dad. Our heroine believes the father is one bad dude who kidnapped his son. But he isn't and the hero and heroine fall into like. As they race to find his son, they encounter a Nazi from the hero's past. The book is action-packed and emotional in all the right spots.
From Wikipedia: Mary Stewart was a British novelist who developed the romantic mystery genre, featuring smart, adventurous heroines who could hold their own in dangerous situations.
I first discovered Mary Stewart when my sister read her Arthurian legend, The Crystal Cave. Like a lot of you, when we discover an author we like, we read everything. So my love for Mary Stewart began. I have always thought Madam, Will You Talk? would make an awesome movie.
Have you read WW2 era books?
How do you feel about cozy mysteries with a touch of romance and humor?
In my Book of Debts, I didn’t owe him one iota. However, I could hear my mother in my ear, trotting out a page from the “Right Thing to Do” lecture. What Stuart’s mom did broke all wedding protocol, and Allan doing his saintly thing told her he would help, which translated meant he desperately needed somebody else’s help.
“Fine. I’m in, but you owe me more, like a date to the”—I grasped on the first thing that popped in my head—“opera.”
“Opera? Since when do you like opera?”
I held back a giggle. “Since yesterday.”
Allan blew a huge sigh. “Done.” He paused. “Opera?”
