      Allow me to add: for those in Portugal, the Portuguese version is "Cartas de Amor e de Guerra". For some reason, they write the author's name as "Chichkin", instead of Shishkin.

    Love this series 😊 I am interested in reading White Chrysanthemum. It reminds me of The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah that I really enjoyed reading a couple of years ago. It's about two sisters with completely different personalities living under Nazi occupation in France and then how a series of events change their lives and relationships with each other.
    Definitely recommend The Nightingale. Thank you for all the book recommendations.😊🙏

    It got to a point that I couldn't stop thinking about it, it was the first book that I've read in another language and I'm so thankful, really❤

    For Whom The Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway. It's a harrowing tale of a group of anti-fascists fighting in the Spanish civil war, and so far it discusses how people's lives and relationships are shaped by war and the nature of death and existence as to be expected. Its very good so far though.
