Books to read in wartime Britain and America
A critical survey touches Canadian country and US wartime writings. Hutchison argues The Unknown Country aims to explain what Canada and the United States know of each other while McGuire’s Westward Course sketches a vast Pacific route from Vancouver to Singapore and beyond. Frank Laskier’s My Name Is Frank honors naval will, while Annie Brockway’s Respectfully Yours Annie offers London letters. Early spring novels include Maurois L’Instinct du Honneur in English, A Time for Silence, Renegade, Aunt Jessup, and other period pieces.

Soap Opera Queens Rise From Ordinary Lives
Adelaide Kerr profiles Bess Flynn and Bess Johnson, two soap opera stars who built empires from radio and TV roles. Flynn, earning over 590,000 yearly from serials, manages writing, editing, and caring for three children with husband Charles Flynn on a Westport, Connecticut estate. Johnson, once a restaurant worker and model, rose to The Story of Bess Johnson and now stars in The Story of Bess, balancing work with marriage to swimmer Peter Fick and motherhood. Both say the industry needs more humor and less melodrama amid wartime shifts.
