Queens Don’t Play: Fear and Gender Equality in Elizabeth’s Court [GUEST POST]

Love Sees Past Race in Sarah Creviston Lee’s ‘The War Between Us’ [EXCERPT]
It never fails to surprise me. No matter how many novels I read set against the backdrop of World War II, no two stories are ever identical. Because so many nations were involved in the conflict, the war tore everyone apart.
