Washington, DC, government worker Louise Pearlie might be a naive, young widow, but she’s also as determined as a bulldog when it comes to doing the right thing. It’s June 1942, and a chance glimpse into a classified file (she works for the Office of Strategic Services) reveals to a horrified Louise that Vichy France is falling and that her dearest friend, Rachel, who is Jewish and lives in Marseille, is in grave danger. How can a file clerk make a difference? Read this gentle espionage novel and find out what people were doing on the home front. Wonderfully drawn details of the World War II era, with special focus on women’s roles and the OSS/FBI competition. VERDICT A quick read that brings the domestic side of World War II to life. The country girl beats the odds and makes an auspicious debut in Shaber’s (“Professor Simon Shaw Mysteries”) new series. Almost cozy, with a touch of romance; a good YA hand-sell, too.Shaber, Sarah R. Louise’s War. Severn House. Sept. 2011. c.208p. ISBN 9780727880406. $27.95. M
