The Liberty Scarf by Aimie K. Runyan, J'nell Ciesielski, Rachel McMillan
3.0
Set during WW1, “The Liberty Scarf” is three stories connected through as scarf. Iris is a scarf maker with a desire to become Liberty’s first female scarf designer. Genevieve is a telephone operator that signs up as a US Army Signal Operator. Clara is a nurse and violinist who is chosen to play to raise moral.
Loving historical fiction, I had high hopes for this WW1 focused novel. However while interesting, it struggled to keep me fully engaged. Instead of a multiple POV novel interwoven with each other, this is more of three novellas that are briefly connected by a scarf during the transitions from one story to the other. Because of the shorter formats, I felt that the stories were more superficial than I typically enjoy and wanted more from each of the stories. While the plots were okay, I would have liked more of the historical aspect threaded through. You might like this If you like short stories or historic fiction.
