Censorettes

Censorettes provides an often overlooked perspective on World War II, with the heroine Lucy being a part of a branch of British intelligence that monitored the mail between Europe and North America. The novel primarily focuses on the bond between the women who worked together, but there is plenty of mystery, and even murder, that is sure to catch the reader’s attention. While the story is fictional, many elements are based on true events, which Frank details at the end of the book and could inspire further research. This work could be used in English classes as a novel study, but it could also support social studies lessons, given its focus on war history.
