The synopsis for the book is fairly abstract. While one sister lives in relative ease on the bucolic Armory campus as an officer’s wife, the other arrives as a war widow and takes a position in the Armory factories as a “soldier of production.” Resentment festers between the two, and secrets are shattered when a mysterious figure from the past reemerges in their lives.” “ Two estranged sisters, raised in Brooklyn and each burdened with her own shocking secret, are reunited at the Springfield Armory in the early days of WWII. **Fair warning, slight spoilers in this review** World War II was also the beginning of what we know to be modern warfare, and the drastic difference between the first War and the second is immerse.

My quest to education myself on what he might have seen or experience highly influences my curiosity to know more about this time. I think it might have to do with my Grandfather, a person I knew, being a pilot during this time period and it blows my mind how different our worlds are. History was always my favorite subject in school and while I have a number of favorite time periods I enjoy, for whatever reason, World War II intrigues me quite a bit.

To start I really enjoy historical fiction reads. I was able to knock this read out last weekend with some light reading on Friday night and during the day Saturday. I didn’t read a single historical fiction last month so figured I’d start my month off with one of them. For one of these, I’m actually reading along with the Instagram account ‘Pages Ago Book Club’ for their inaugural month and their pick for February was The Wartime Sisters. Out of the ten books I’m planning on reading this month three of them are historical fictions.

My February reading is off to a great start! We are only nine days into the month and I’m already on book four from my reading list (click HERE for my full February Reading List). Genre: Fiction, Historical Fiction, World War II
