Good Night, Irene by Luis Alberto Urrea
5.0
A Vivid Piece of Little Known History
This incredible work of historic fiction brings to life the lives of a very special group of Red Cross women who served right along side the GIs of WWII. Manning cumbersome vehicles known as Clubmobiles, they served front line soldiers coffee, donuts and endless hours of support and empathy. The novel follows closely the route the author's mother and her fellow comrades took across Europe and across time. Each character is vividly drawn (wether from fact or fiction), each scene cinematic. A must read!
