For fans of historical novels by Kristin Harmel and Martha Hall Kelly comes a “gripping tale by a writer at the top of her game” (Fiona Davis, author of The Chelsea Girls) following three friends who struggle to remain loyal as one of them is threatened with internment by the British government at the start of World War II.

In August of 1939, as Britain watches the headlines in fear of another devastating war with Germany, three childhood companions must choose between friendship and country. Erstwhile socialite Nora is determined to find her place in the Home Office’s Air Raid Precautions Department, matchmaker Hazel tries to mask two closely guarded secrets with irrepressible optimism, and German expat Marie worries that she and her family might face imprisonment in an internment camp if war is declared. When Germany invades Poland and tensions on the British home front rise, Marie is labeled an enemy alien, and the three friends find themselves fighting together to keep her free at any cost.

Featuring Julia Kelly’s signature “intricate, tender, and convincing” (Publishers Weekly) prose, The Whispers of War is a moving and unforgettable tale of the power of female friendship and womanhood in the midst of conflict.

When I started this book I almost stopped after the first few pages, but I continued on reading it with the thought that I had to give it a shot and I'm so glad that I did.

This is a great book!!!

I love a good modern discovery of old family stories book, but this was just shoved into that framework with no payoff. The way the WW2 storyline was told in large chunks with no sense of details being relayed years later made the fact that it was being told to a granddaughter in the present seem irrelevant. Modern Nora and David are introduced and have a few small scenes with Samantha, but the bulk of the book and really the only story with much plot is the WW2 story told by the three women.

I wish Jula Kelly had skipped the tropes that sell books and written it all in the past or with better development of a story rediscovery narrative (which she is more than capable of)

Not worth the 1 credit purchase
