When we think about post-WWII, we tend to thing about a return to a normality that didn't actually exist before the war (fewer women working outside the home in the 1950s than in the 1920s-30s). The social impact of WWI is something we in the US think about less, because we entered the war so late. But even in your summary, you've painted a picture that is compelling. I think this is going to have to jump the queue to the top of my To Be Read pile!Catherine Siemannhttps://curiousercuriosities.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-66439394143347577602019-02-13T00:45:48.757-05:002019-02-13T00:45:48.757-05:00I'm eager to read your new book, it deals with...I'm eager to read your new book, it deals with a subject I am particularly interested in. And I would gently suggest that it wasn't only Germany, England, Australia and New Zealand that paid the price for that horrific, ill-considered, tragically mismanaged war. Canada, India and other parts of the Dominion also lost a generation of young men in the so-called Great War.<br />jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02472016280216789726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-79657620374634716942019-02-12T20:44:33.497-05:002019-02-12T20:44:33.497-05:00Your pub day, Rhys, = The day my pre-ordered copy ...Your pub day, Rhys, = The day my pre-ordered copy should arrive. The only problem with your stand-alones is that I devour them too quickly, and then don't have the next in a series to anticipate.

And, especially as we in the US and in the UK (although they got there a year ahead of us) look forward to a centenary of women's voting rights it seems like a particularly vital story to tell.

I had similar thoughts about how people lived back then. When I was studying abroad in England, our class visited a house in the Cotswolds. I was very surprised that the house had been in the same family since the first Queen Elizabeth's reign. The house is older than the USA! The title reminds me of stories my mom told me about the second world war. She remembers the victory garden at their house in Chicago. She was about two years old and she remembers that! I am so excited about reading your new book!<br /><br />DianaBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-6832862435909744512019-02-12T11:28:50.555-05:002019-02-12T11:28:50.555-05:00Congratulations on Book Pub Day!

I need to read about the impact of the trenches (a horror) to the way the war was fought and how the countries involved dealt with the loss of so many young and vibrant men. I look forward to reading The Victory Garden and know it will be as wonderful as all of your books.
