Mrs. Witherspoon Goes to War Book Review
If you’re looking for more of the lesser told stories from World War II, then this series – Heroines of WWII – from Barbour is a must read. I have learned so much so far, and I still have several more books to go!
My latest read was Mrs. Witherspoon Goes to War. From the start, I’ll say that I was disappointed to discover that Peggy Witherspoon was not a real individual, but her WASP status and training described many ladies during the war. This story seemed to focus more on the interactions between her and two other WASPs and their efforts to make women more recognized as a helpful part of the military (they were not officially known as soldiers; more like civilian volunteers). There was a bit of a romance between Peggy and her commanding officer, but I wish it had flowed more effortlessly throughout the story rather than an afterthought. In spite of not caring for the romantic aspect, the end of the story included a wonderful climax that had me on the edge of my seat!
While I didn’t enjoy this book as much as some of the others in this series, Mrs. Witherspoon Goes to War still gave a wonderful representation of these brave ladies as they worked alongside their male pilot counterparts during the war.
