I'm so blue in this video! I had my screen settings on eye comfort and thought the footage was really orange which is why I look like a Tim Burton ghost to begin with!
Everything is Illuminated is one of my favorite books! Thanks for this list 🤗 I’ve been turned off by European-centered war novels, but I promise I will read The English Patient someday!
I'm the same and I still love it! The Sikh Sapper is an interesting perspective on the European war, and the North African side of the war as well although from a European perspective
Roisin, I doubt you have ever read Faulk's Birdsong! Wraysford was a Lieutenant, tasked protecting the diggers. Capt Weir was the company commander of the diggers. You forget to mention that All Quiet on the Western Front, was the first anti war novel, subsequently burned by the Nazis. Morpurgo's Private Peaceful, is a more powerful novel, dealing with the English class war spilling over into war in Flanders Fields. What about Robert Graves autobiographical Good by to All That!]

Goodnight Mister Tom and Back Home both by Michelle Magorian, and The Silver Sword by Ian Serraillier are my favourite children's book set in WW2
I read Goodnight Mister Tom in Year 6 with my class, it’s so sad!
I loved “all the light we cannot see” !!!!!!
Yeah I know that one's super popular!

thank you for the great recommendations ♥
I'm glad you liked it!
I would highly recommend Herman Wouk's "The Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance." Both the books and mini series are great!!
Thank you, I'll look them up!
I just read my first Ondaatje novel last month - The Cat’s Table - and thoroughly enjoyed it. Need to find The English Patient!
I've only read two of his so definitely need to check out some more!
'A Farewell to Arms' by Hemingway might be on a WWI tbr list.

that's quite rude. I have read birdsong, however it was 13 years ago and so I may have misremembered some details.
I love remarque so much, more his ww2
I haven't read his WW2, I'll have to check it out!
