Why read it?
1 author picked A Hilltop on the Marne as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The good news? After a long career as an editor in Boston, Ms. Aldrich retired to her beloved France in June l914. The bad news? The cottage she bought was only a few miles behind the front lines once the war started later that summer. This is her eyewitness account of what the Great War does to her adopted village, and memorably combines two literary genres that would seem to be incompatible: a book of simple rural pleasures with a book on war.
From W.D.'s list on unjustly forgotten books from World War One.
