HT Recommends - WWI in Historical Fiction

Our HT Recommends feature is becoming a regular one at every thematic event we have. As in previous entries we thought it would be interesting to have a post listing the main HF titles where WWI plays a role, be it an important or secondary one. We tried to make an exaustive list and we left out books by contemporary authors on purpose. If you have any HF title dealing with WWI and that we missed do let us know in the comments and we will add it to our list. Enjoy!

  1. Great list - I love reading about WWI and a lot of these titles are new to me! You could also add The Last Summer by Judith Kinghorn and Blow on a Dead Man's Embers by Mari Strachan.
