Independent literature review site FlaxFlower has written a fantastic review of Trish Fenton’s debut novel War Bride. Read the review below, and grab your copy of the novel here.
[War Bride’s] genre defies ready classification because, although founded on the real-life love-story of the author’s clearly beloved parents-in-law, Fenton has resisted the temptation to write a work of hagiographic memoir in favour of producing a novel that might well be the story of Everyman and Everywoman who found each other in the midst of the greatest war in history.
Indeed, she might have been lurking in the back of any of my classrooms over the years whilst I insisted to multitudes of my students that history is largely the story of ordinary people doing occasionally extraordinary things in frequently extraordinary situations.
