It’s time for the 1944 Club, which is being hosted by Kaggsy at Kaggsy’s Bookish Ramblings and by Simon at Stuck in a Book, the week has come around far too quickly for me. At the moment I’m reading Portable by Dorothy Parker, hoping to get it finished by the end of the week.
However, I have read a few books published in 1944 in the past so here are some from my archives.
Till Death Us Do Part by John Dickson Carr
The Case of the Gilded Fly by Edmund Crispin
The Headmistress by Angela Thirkell
Thanks for these links to 1944 books. I definitely want to read Berlin Hotel and Till Death do us Part, and maybe some of the others. Books written and set during World War II are very interesting.
tracybham,
I think you’ll really like Berlin Hotel. I’ve read a few others by Vicki Baum since then and have liked them all. Often books written during the war are full of social history.
I had forgotten all about this club and I have missed it. Whoops!
Jo,
That happened to me when they did the 1977 club. It was been and gone before I realised it!
