There is no better novel about World War II than Gone to Soldiers. Marge Piercy’s painstakingly researched story follows the lives of ten deliciously complex characters through the war and its aftermath. There’s Daniel, the drifter who finds his calling in decoding Japanese naval messages; Bernice, who blossoms from a stay-at-home daughter into a proud, self-confident WASP; Jacqueline, the French teenager who becomes one of the leaders of the Jewish underground; and Naomi, her sister, who must adapt to a new life living in safety with cousins in Detroit, while her family faces the Nazis in France. These and the stories of the other six characters make World War II vivid and personal for any reader, regardless of age. --Colt R.
