Under a Sky on Fire (by Suzanne Kelman)

Suzanne Kelman has written some wonderful historical fiction WWII books and this one was definitely up there as one of my favorites. The characters are richly developed and the research conducted was amazing. This is a story of love and friendship. The relationship that develops among the three women was touching. There is romance, but it is buried in the midst of the trauma and angst of WWII. I had no idea about the barrage balloons used during the war. I spent a lot of time googling them to see exactly what they looked like and to read how they worked. I love learning a new aspect of the war and especially how the women were instrumental in fighting alongside the men. This is definitely a heartwarming story and one I would strongly encourage you to read. Just make sure you have some tissues on hand because they will come in handy!
