Barbara’s War is Fenella J. Miller’s longest-running WWII saga, following its heroine from the opening of the conflict through the difficult years that follow. The first book, published in 2012, introduces Barbara and the man she loves, a pilot whose dangerous work shapes the whole series. The Middle Years and subsequent volumes track the relationship as the war grinds on and circumstances change.
The series has an unusual publishing history. Several books appeared in combined editions, with titles like A Dilemma for the Pilot’s Girl / The Resolution and The Pilot’s Story / A Long Way Back collecting earlier material in new formats. This means readers may encounter the same story under different titles depending on where they buy. The reading order table on this page lists all eight entries as they appear in the database.
Miller keeps the focus personal throughout, on daily life under wartime pressure rather than military strategy. The emotional arc across eight books gives the series more room to develop than her shorter WWII collections, and Barbara remains a consistent presence from the first book to The Conclusion in 2020.
