Exploring Anna Stuart’s Must-Read WWII Novels

I must admit that World War II historical fiction is currently my favorite genre. Author Anna Stuart has written three series about this time period, as well as several standalones.

Stuart’s work is not for the faint of heart. As you can imagine, the subject matter requires a certain amount of brutal honesty that can at times be quite uncomfortable to read. That being said, I have learned more about WWII in the last few years than I ever learned in school. I have read all of the above books, except The Children on the Train becasue it will not be published until later this year. If asked, I could not choose a favorite.
