Rosie Clarke’s Women at War series is a three-book fiction sequence published between 2017 and 2019. The series opens with Jessie’s Promise in 2017, continues with The Runaway Wife in 2018, and concludes with Hetty’s Secret War in 2019. As the series title suggests, the books focus on women during wartime, with each installment named after or centered on a different female character.
The one-book-per-year release schedule gave Clarke room to develop each story fully before moving to the next. Readers who enjoy wartime fiction told from women’s perspectives will find the three books here are connected and best read in order, since the characters and their situations carry forward from one book to the next.
