It reminded me of Mrs. Miniver, so I watched that too, with an eye towards the "propaganda" nature of the film. I really enjoyed the book. Good story, characters and atmosphere. I don't see how folks survived the daily bombardment. We tend to forget. 6) Read a book whose author or a character shares a name with you (first name, last name, initals)
MAIN COURSE 1) Read a book 500+ pages Wolf Hall 11/4 Thomas Cromwell, Thomas More, Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.

Lilac Girls - Martha Hall Kelly 7/10 a NYC activist, a Polish resistance courier, & a Nazi concentration camp doctor. Intense, but well done. DESSERT 1) Read a book on your TBR list The Great Stink - Clare Clark 1/22 Neo Victorian, dark in style. 2) Read a book set in 2 time periods, or 2 countries The Weight of Ink - Rachel Kadish 10/13 Restoration London, Jewish community, a young woman scribe and her writings found by 2001 historians. A bit like Possession (Byatt). 3) Read a book with less than 300 pages 4) Read a book set in the Old West 5) Read the first book in a series Ross Poldark - Winston Graham 3/5. Like the PBS series? Read the books, too. 6) Read a historical romance
FINE WINES 1) Read a book about or set during the Prohibition Era The Midwife of Hope River - Patricia Harman 7/20 Set in WVa coal country during 1929-1930. Moonshine and blackberry wine in everyone's pocket. Birth, death, love and loss. Lots of activist history and union wars, too. 4 stars 2) Read a book whose main character is older than 60 3) Read a classic novel published before 1900 4) Re-read your favorite book 5) Read the oldest book on your TBR pile 6) Read a book that, at the time of publication, was written by an author who was older than 50
