    I'm looking for suggestions on books that have some focus on people surviving historical food shortages. Whether it's from war rationing, actual famine, natural or economic disaster, frontier travel, that sort of thing.

    It doesn't need to be the entire focus, just a significant enough part of the backdrop and character struggles to have something to discuss on it.

    The friend who suggested I post here also recommended one of the children's books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, The Long Winter, which is a perfectly good example, it doesn't always have to be something extremely dramatic. So while fiction is preferred, autobiographical works or even journals could be fine.

    I appreciate any help here, thank you!
