The story of the period from 1918-1920, as people adjust to a world at peace following the end of the Great War.
Divine Might by Natalie Haynes

I’ve read some of Natalie Haynes’ fiction, but this non-fiction book tells the stories of several Greek goddesses including Hera, Demeter and the Furies.
Maiden Voyages by Siân Evans
(Margaret at BooksPlease)
A book exploring the lives of women at sea during the Golden Age of transatlantic travel.
Singled Out by Virginia Nicholson

A book about the experiences of the two million ‘surplus’ women faced with remaining spinsters due to the loss of so many men during the First World War.
Hunting the Falcon by John Guy
(Kay at What? Me Read?)
The subtitle Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn and the Marriage That Shook Europe tells you what it’s about!

A collection of important events in Victorian history, arranged by the day of the year on which they occurred.

Have you read any of these? Did you take part in Nonfiction November and if so, what did you add to your TBR this month?
She Reads Novels 
All of those sound fascinating!!
They do! Now I just need to find time to read them all!
Thanks for linking! Maiden Voyages was very good—I read it when it was brand new.
Maiden Voyages does sound great. I’m glad you liked it!
I’m intrigued by Maiden Voyages and Singled Out! They look like two nonfiction books I’d like. 😀
Yes, they both sound really interesting.
Juliet Nicholson is an excellent writer. I read A House Full of Daughters which I loved.
Thanks – I’ll think about reading that one if I enjoy The Great Silence.
Thanks for the mention!
You’re welcome!
Thanks for the link! And I hope you’ll enjoy Maiden Voyages.
You’re welcome. It sounds like a fascinating book.
I’ve read a few Nicolson books – including ‘Singled Out’ – and she’s always interesting. The next two of hers I have to yet read (maybe ‘next’ year?) are about the 50’s and 60’s. I have ‘Divine Might’ (unread naturally) and have enjoyed several of Haynes’ fiction and non-fiction books. She’s an automatic buy for me. ‘Maiden Voyages’ looks interesting for a few reasons. I’ll add it to my Wish List!
Something to add to the list… You might like ‘The Fishing Fleet – Husband Hunting in the Raj’ by Anne De Courcy. My review is here: https://cyberkittenspot.blogspot.com/2015/05/just-finished-reading-fishing-fleet.html
Nicolson’s books do all sound interesting. I’ll start with Singled Out and if I enjoy it I’ll try one of her others. Thanks for the reminder about The Fishing Fleet – I’ve come across it before and thought it sounded appealing, but have never got round to reading it.
These sound like great books! Victorian Britain Day by Day by Nicholas Travers sounds like an interesting book which I will be adding to my TBR. 😊
Yes, the Victorian Britain book does sound really interesting. I’m looking forward to reading it.
I look forward to reading your thoughts on it! 😊
