Jessica Gregson's The Angel Makers
WWI has just started, and for once Sari--the oddball in her village, a learned girl who knows a lot about plants and healing, and is generally an outcast--finds herself part of a community, as the women band together to keep things going. But when a prisoner of war camp full of Italian men comes to town--and then the war ends and their own men return--things get a little messy, as most of the women preferred life when their men were away. Apparently based on a true story, this novel is full of a kind of dark humor that I found really enjoyable. This needs to be a movie, like, now. A-.
