I read fourteen books in February. Yes, I was surprised by that number as well but, frankly, what else is there to do at the moment? I found something to enjoy in all the books I read but there were a few that stood out. Links from each title will take you to my review. You can find a list of all the books I’ve read so far in 2021 here. If we’re not already friends on Goodreads, send me a friend request or follow my reviews.
When The World Was Ours by Liz Kessler – Inspired by the true story of her father’s escape from Nazi-occupied Europe, the author takes the reader on a journey from Vienna in 1936 to the outbreak of the Second World War and beyond in the company of three childhood friends
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith – The heartwarming story of the Nolan family, first-generation immigrants to the United States, and their life in the Williamsburg slums of Brooklyn
The Diplomat’s Wife by Michael Ridpath – An eventful road trip across Cold War era Europe combined with all the ingredients of a wartime espionage thriller
Daughters of Night by Laura Shepherd-Robinson – Intricately plotted historical crime novel that oozes period atmosphere
Madam by Phoebe Wynne – Elements of suspense combined with a distinctly dystopian feel makes for an unsettling but utterly compelling read
What books were amongst your favourites in February? Have you read any of my picks?
I’m delighted to know you liked A Tree Grows in Brooklyn! I liked that book a lot, too.
I have When the World Was Ours on my TBR so I’m looking forward to reading it.

I’ve just finished Daughters of Night and I really enjoyed it too. I liked it better than the first one in the series.
