My daughter is currently reading “Paroles de Poilus” - at school as a set text. It is a heartbreaking collection of letters sent home front the front during WW1. It gives you an immense awareness of just how awful the conditions were and some of the letters have made me cry. It is written in French but as the letters are generally short, it is much easier to read than an entire novel. I highly recommend it.
The paperback of my novel about the German occupation of the Channel Islands, War on the Margins, is now available on Amazon.fr.War on the Margins
