The War I Finally Won by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

4.0

---

The author was really good at dropping clues that a reader could infer facts of WW2 into their reading of the book, such as Susan's relationship with Becky and with her family, which was treated with great love and respect, the code breakers of Bletchly Park, and Hitler's genocide of the Jewish people. These are all things you might pick up on, but at the time, they weren't widely known or addressed directly. Even without that knowledge, it would still be an enjoyable read. It would also get me wanting to learn more about this time period in the real world.
