Good Night, Irene (by Luis Alberto Urrea)

This was an interesting WWII historical fiction story. I loved that it was roughly based on the life of the author’s mother as she served with the Red Cross during the war. Having read another book about the clubmobiles that served donuts and coffee to the troops in Europe, I was interested in discovering a different point of view. The relationships these individuals developed and their willingness to put themselves in danger to provide a bit of fun and pleasure to the soldiers. Though the book is a little slow to get into, by about 25% into it, you will be sucked in and ready to experience life with Dorothy and Irene as they serve as “Donut Dollies.”
