WW1 is not a topic i have read much about except in the context of the Russian royal family, and since i love women's history it was definitely nice having it coupled. I liked some of the stories better than others, but even my favorites had a lot of grim and depressing endings, though i guess it's kinda silly expecting anything else from war novels.
