Reviews

Historical Novel Society – Editor’s Choice – February 2019
“…The story drew me in from the very beginning, though I did have high expectations, having previously read Loigman’s first, equally stellar novel, The Two-Family House. The heartfelt and utterly engrossing story tackles such issues as sex discrimination, unequal treatment of children, and the repercussions of keeping secrets and holding grudges. Ultimately, the book is a triumphant tale of healing and is a fine addition to literature set in the World War II era.” (Review by Hilary Daninhirsch)

Library Journal – December 3, 2018
“Readers will enjoy the heartfelt picture of women’s daily life during wartime through the eyes of two extraordinary sisters. Recommended for historical fiction fans of Pam Jenoff and Kate Morton.”

Kirkus Reviews – November 1, 2018
“…In a Massachusetts armory town, four women negotiate the World War II home front…though it highlights historic advances for women, this book is really about gender discrimination in the home.”

Booklist – November 1, 2018
“…With a perceptive lens on the challenges of whittling away grievances that have built up over years, The Wartime Sisters is a powerful pressure cooker of a family drama…”

Publishers Weekly – October 15, 2018
“With measured, lucid prose, Loigman tells a moving story of women coming together in the face of difficulties, both personal and global, and doing anything to succeed.”
