The English Girl
by Sarah Mitchell
Trigger Warning: PTSD
The English Girl is set in dual timelines though most of the story is set in 1946 after the World War II. Set in England there are three storylines that go parallel with each other and tells us about Fran, June, Viv, Major Markham, Thomas, Martin and Daisy. Though its a historical fiction this novel essentially deals with forbidden love between Thomas/Fran and the infidelity of Viv with an American soldier. It also deals with an important topic of the aftermath of the war on soldiers in the form of PTSD.
The atmosphere of this novel is a little gloomy which is perfect for the backdrop of Thomas and Fran's love story as he is a German prisoner and Fran is a Britisher. Fran's granddaughter finds a letter which compels her to travel to East Berlin. What is in the letter and why the compulsion is a mystery that compels you to read till the end. Every character in this novel has a dimension of their own and fits perfectly in this atmospheric novel.
