Season of My Enemy by Naomi Dawn MuschMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
Season of my Enemy was an interesting twist to the WW2 fictional world.
As readers we are used to the normal WW2 stories, right there in the mists of the fighting and survival. In this novel, we as readers saw the side of those left behind, those who had to continue day to day life while hoping and trusting for news from loved ones.
I felt that the fears of Frannie and her family, bringing German POWs into their lives, were realistic and believable. I liked that this novel dealt with the daily struggles and wasn’t a forbidden love between two enemies, but more of a slow build of friendship which helped Frannie and this reader see that not all Germans involved in the war was Nazi’s, some just had no choice.
I also liked how the author used Frannie’s two brothers to show the struggles of the war heroes – letting go, forgiving your enemy versus letting hatred and bitterness take control.

About the book:
“Get Your Farm in the Fight” - The Realities of WWII Come to a Wisconsin Farm
Full of intrigue, adventure, and romance, this series celebrates the unsung heroes—the heroines of WWII.
Only last year, Fannie O’Brien was considered a beauty with a brain, and her future shone bright, despite the war pounding Europe. With her father’s sudden death and her brothers overseas, Fannie must now do the work of three men on their 200-acre farm—until eight German prisoners arrive and, just as Fannie feared, trouble comes too. Someone seems intent on causing “accidents,” and Fannie is certain the culprit is one of the two handsome older Germans—or possibly both. Can she manage the farm, keep the prisoners in line, and hold her family together through these turbulent times?
