Mary Hoffman recommends
The Skylarks' War (2018)
Hilary McKay
"Hilary McKay’s novel is about love as much as war: the effect on children of being deprived of it and the beneficial results on adults of its persistence. McKay is incapable of writing an uninteresting character or a dull scene... I loved it."
