These stories are so enjoyable. I couldn’t wait to receive the next 3 books. I hope there will be more stories added!
I ordered all seven books at the same time. I have finished all
the books and enjoyed them very much. Reading them brought back memories of WW2. I have been recommending them to many
Of my friends.
Loved it. IZZY IS THE LIFE OF THE BOOK
I love this series! It's a very realistic time snap of life in working class families in NY City and the US during WWII. I'm currently up to Christmas 1942 and controlling the urge to read the whole series in one marathon reading sprint!
Christmastime 1941: A Love Story
Christmastime 1941 opens two days after Pearl Harbor has been attacked. War has just been declared, and New York City is in a state of chaos and panic as it tries to prepare for possible attacks. Following the same characters established in Christmastime 1941, and introducing a few new ones, it tells the power of old loves, new loves, and friendship.
It continues the love story of Lillian and Charles, the adventures of Tommy and Gabriel, and depicts two bittersweet romances: that of Izzy and her fiancé Red, and that of the office manager at Drooms Accounting, sixty-year old Mrs. Murphy, and her Brendan.
Author Bio:
Linda Mahkovec is the author of World War II historical fiction, short stories, and contemporary novels.
Themes of love, family, and home dominate her stories, and though they may be set against the backdrop of war or deal with the disappointments in life, the overarching feel is uplifting and hopeful. Threads that run through her work are the search for beauty and meaning, and the artistic female character—whether she is a painter, a gardener, or simply someone who lives creatively and seeks connection.
Mahkovec was born and raised in a small town in Illinois. She then spent several years in the San Francisco Bay area and Seattle, and for the past thirty years has lived in New York City. She has a PhD in English, specializing in Victorian literature. She has previously published as Agnes Irene.
