L.L. Kirchner, the Author of “Florida Girls” has written a captivating, intriguing and suspenseful Historical Fiction novel. The timeline for this story is set during World War Two. In this well written novel, the author describes the scenery, costumes and the colorful and dramatic characters. The characters are described as complex, and complicated. I love that the theme revolves around women banding together against men. There is a sisterhood that uses all the means necessary to make things happen.
The author discusses corruption, espionage, mob, mafia connections, bootlegging, German spies, United States Intelligence, talent and swimsuit contests, races, dancing and music of the times. One of the female protagonists, Thelma Miles is attempting to leave a criminal and difficult life behind, to find that she is faced with this again. Thelma becomes one of “The Florida Girls” in competition, that travels through Florida and the country using support of the war effort. There are powerful men and tremendous danger. Can Thelma and the other women she works with help change the world, and women’s place in it? I highly recommend this memorable book, and look forward to reading the next in the series.
