The Ways We Hide by Kristina McMorris
4.0
The Ways We Hide is an original WWII historical fiction novel. The story was engaging, the characters interesting to get to know, and the history was compelling and had content I was unaware of (and I read a LOT of WWII historical fiction). I also enjoyed the parts set in copper country. So little literature about this region of the US exists, and I appreciated learning more about the large mining companies' influences on all aspects of people's lives. And the magic - who doesn't love a little bit of magic (literally)?
The afterward of McMorris's book is detailed and shows how well she researched the book. I also appreciated the numerous references she provided for additional reading. These are always hallmarks of good historical fiction.
My only criticism is that it got a little ponderous at times. The main protagonist had too many inner dialogues where she worked through scenarios for her situation. When this occurred, I wanted to push the narrative along.
Fans of WWII fiction will want to add this to their TBR list.
Thanks to NetGalley for an ebook version of this novel in exchange for a review.
