Children of a Good War:French Letters (Book Three), Jack Woodville London, ISBN: 978-0-9906121-8-6 Soft back Series/French Letters
This book is a work of historical fiction.
Military Writers Society of America’s “Author of the Year,” Jack Woodville London has released his third installment of the critically- acclaimed American saga, French Letters. His novels give a fascinating portrayal of 1940s America at home, in WWII, and how America used the experiences of war to the baby boomer generation. The first two titles in this series are Virginia’s War and Engaged in War.
The French Letter series has been praised for its meticulous research and ability to capture the language, attitudes, and moral culture of their 1940s setting, written in prose that reviewers describe as beautiful and not pretentious, stories that are riveting and real. In Children of a Good War, a cache of faded wartime letters triggers a quest to uncover long-buried secrets of a prior generation – and the true identity of the heroine’s husband which send him on a journey to discover his family’s long-buried secrets.
