The Last Correspondent by Soraya M. Lane
5.0
I really enjoyed this story by Soraya Lane. I have read a lot of her work, and this definitely stands out as one of her better novels.
Following female war correspondents as they fight to be heard in a world dominated by men, this story takes you alongside a writer and photographer who bend and break the rules to get access to the front lines, They are adamant about bringing the raw truth of war to the world, but are hindered by sensorship and their gender.
I think it's important to point out that this is a FICTION ROMANCE novel, as well as a historical piece. If you're looking for a gritty WWII novel, this probably isn't the one. While there are moments of intensity, they are largely smoothed over to instead showcase the growth and thought process of the character(s). The war is not the focus of the story, the women are.
This is definitely a book I would read again and recommend to a friend.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free, electronic ARC of this novel received in exchange for an honest review.
