    Having read Blackout and All Clear by Connie Willis, I've developed a bit of a thing for books set in London during the second world war.

    Can anyone recommend me some? I'm open minded as to the genre.

    Thanks!

    1. Transcription by Kate Atkinson – young woman working in M5 (intelligence); much of her excellent Life After Life is also set in London during WWII

    2. The Book of Lost Names by Kristen Harmel. It’s about a young Jewish woman hiding in rural France who helps smuggle Jewish children out of France by forging documents for them.

      The Last Bookshop in London: A Novel of World War II by Madeline Martin is also excellent. It’s from the perspective of women on the home front in London.
