Cilka’s Journey is the first historical fiction book I’ve read that is set in the Russian Gulags. Morris’ writing style captivates the reader right away in both books.

The Lost Girls of Paris — War is not just for men. During World War II, several governments recruited women for various jobs that would help the war effort – and some of those were on the frontline.
