The Good War - Paperback
by Elizabeth Costello (Author)
A sweeping tale of love, loss, and reinvention in post-war America.
In 1948, Louise Galle, a chemist and former Rosie-the-Riveter, finds her life upended by the arrival of Kit Blunt, a wounded veteran who served alongside her deceased husband in World War II. As their connection deepens, Louise grapples with painful memories and the possibility of a new love.
Years later, in 1964 New York City, Louise's daughter Charlotte seeks her own path, falling for the butch next door and embracing her artistic calling. As both women navigate societal expectations and personal desires, they uncover long-held family secrets that force them to confront the past and redefine their futures.
For readers of historical and women's fiction, The Good War explores themes of generational experience, women's autonomy, and the enduring impact of war with atmospheric prose and psychological depth. Discover a story of resilience, reinvention, and the courage to make it new.
