The Girls of Atomic City

Yesterday I had a shift at the bookstore. One my way in I passed one of the table and a book caught my eye. I grabbed it, got my stuff together and I started my shift in music.

Now music can be notoriously slow. So I flipped through the book and proceeded to read the dust jacket. The I started reading......
 
Granted, I am not that far into the book but it is already a fascinating read. Imagine taking a job at during the war. Not knowing where you were going or what you were going to do, just that you would be away from home and doing a job that would help the war effort.
 
Denise Kiernan has a great interactive website about her book and these amazing young women.
 
 
I usually don't buy a lot of hard cover books without reading a bit if it first. Something about this book spoke to me. Go check it out!

  2. This book is on my vintage (history related) Amazon wish list. I recently receive an Amazon GC as a gift and am tempted to pick this title up for myself, too. Hope it's a great read for you, dear gal!
