A suggestions for your fireside reading include The Lost Diaries of Suzanna Moodie by Cecily Ross, writer for the Globe and Mail, MacLeans, Zoomer and Harrowsmith.

Another recommendcation is Goodnight from London by Jennifer Robson, author of Somewhere in France.

It’s a story of a female American journalist covering the Second World War in London.

It is an ode to the heroines of the war of whom little is known. It is also a touching love story.
