October and November Books

The Secret Stealers by Jane Healey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second Jane Healey book I read just to be sure she was really brilliant. This book is the definition of historical fiction. Just enough romance to possibly call it romantic historical fiction.
I was intrigued by the plot and characters. I want to give nothing away but, the plot turns were wonderful and I was almost able figure some of it out. For the most part I just let Jane's writing wash over me until the end. Then I read all of the stuff after the story ended because I wanted to know more about how she works.
Read this book if you like WWII history and spy stories.

The Women of Arlington Hall by Jane Healey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another slice of history that makes for great reading. Was not sure how this one would go while reading it and was pretty satisfied with the ending. Students of history will recognize how close this is to the actual events; others may think its a fantastic story.
The camaraderie of the women and the weirdness of the men made for interesting reading.

The Girl from the War Room by Catherine Law
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My Kind of book, a historical romance novel. The charachters jumped off the page and continue to show me the strength of the Brits. They carried on life with the bombers overhaed and the bombs raining down.
The characters were not only believeable but they got my sympathy for the real and poingint ways their lives intertwined. suffice it to say I loved it.
