pickThe Socialite is the first book I have read by J"nell Ciesielski. I won't be the last. This is a historical fiction set in France during WWII.
Kate Whitford is the oldest daughter of Sir Walter Whitfield. She always follows the rules and does what a Lady should do.
Eleanor is Kate's younger sister. She is the total opposite. She has runoff to Paris and is staying with a German soldier. Kate goes off to get her back.

pickThis book was emotional, informative, captivating and beautifully written. I finished it in tears and with a new appreciation for what people endured during World War 2.
The women in this book are full of grit, love, passion and bravery. These pages capture a side of the war we often don‘t hear about. This is a must read to remind ourselves of the suffering people went through to give us the lives of freedom we live today.
pick25-4. SO GOOD! I couldn‘t put this down. Loved the mystery of which sister is narrating. Both sisters‘ stories were interesting to me. I cried multiple times at the horrifying things the Nazis did- especially the stories involving young children, as I couldn‘t imagine being in that situation with my young kids. Really wish our country would study this era closely to avoid repeating.

Today, the car was a more inviting spot to read than the library. 🌧️☔️🌧️📚🚙
I forgot my Kindle and a book at home. I ran by Mardel's Christian Store and grabbed a book. Now I'm going to read before my doctor appointment.
pickThis is a really dark, but really good world war 2 book. The Germans are ruthless, and she has to protect France with her comrades and find her mother. She has lovers and has to decide who to spend her life with. Genevieve has quality lovers and family, but the war makes her worry about losing them. She is not weak, but she isn‘t immortal. She is brave, but she also suffers. I loved this book.
pickHold on, I'm still crying. I absolutely loved this book. I learned a lot about WW2, but I also got this amazing, heart-wrenching, and beautifully written story. Kristin Hannah never misses. I could read her talking about paint drying, and she could figure out how to make me think it was beautiful. This book shows the more unknown side of the war and the crucial part women played. I cannot wait to pick up more from her after I recover 5/5
Ciesielski writes a beautiful book that is full of suspense and intrigue. She made me feel as if I was right there with the characters. There is great character development, especially in Ellie (Eleanor).
If you like Historical Fiction, you should read this book. I highly recommend it. Could end up in top 5 of read books this year by me. 2mo
