A brilliant but often overlooked novel is 'The Story of a New Name' by Elena Ferrante? Wait, no, that's the second Neapolitan novel. The whole series traces the lifelong friendship of two women from post-WWII Naples. The wars are in the background—the aftermath of fascism, the Cold War tensions—but they shape the economic and social landscape the characters struggle against. It's about the conflict within a community and within a friendship, set against the slow-burn conflict of a changing Italy. For a more direct military focus, 'The Naked and the Dead' by Norman Mailer is a monumental WWII novel, but again, it's one conflict.

I'm just imagining a book I'd love to read: a multi-generational saga following a family of war correspondents or combat medics. Each generation faces a different conflict with new technology and old traumas. The grandfather in Vietnam, the father in the Gulf War, the daughter in a future cyber-conflict. The changing nature of warfare, the ethics of witnessing, the inherited PTSD. The family arguments over dinner about the 'right' way to cover a war or treat an enemy combatant. Someone please write this. It could explore how the story of war is told, and how that story warps the storytellers across generations.

I appreciate stories that show the bureaucratic, unheroic side of war. 'A Very Long Engagement' by Sébastien Japrisot is a WWI mystery about a woman searching for her fiancé, who was one of five soldiers brutally sentenced for self-mutilation and left for dead in no man's land. Her investigation is a quiet war against official lies and oblivion. It's a love story and a detective story that shows how the aftermath of a single, small act of violence in a huge war can consume years. The 'family' is the couple, separated by the conflict, and her relentless pursuit is its own kind of peaceful warfare.

Which WW2 historical novels follow families divided by the war?

I see 'The Bronze Horseman' by Paullina Simons recommended a lot for epic romance set during the Siege of Leningrad. It definitely follows a family—Tatiana and her sister—and their struggle for survival, with a love story that divides them. Be warned, it’s intensely melodramatic and the first book is a doorstopper. The historical detail about the siege is harrowing and well-researched, but the relationship dynamics can feel overwrought to some. If you want history as a backdrop for a grand, sweeping, all-consuming love story with family conflict at its heart, this is your book. If you prefer a more subdued or politically-focused narrative, it might be too much. The fans are extremely passionate about it, though.

Got a soft spot for ‘Atonement’ by Ian McEwan. The first act is a pre-war country estate drama, the second is the brutal retreat to Dunkirk, and the third is a modern-day section where the elderly novelist reveals the devastating truths and fictions of the story we just read. The final timeline reframes everything, making it a profound meditation on the power of storytelling, guilt, and the attempt to seek redemption across a lifetime. The war section is some of the most harrowing writing out there, but it’s the older Briony’s perspective that gives the whole novel its tragic, breathtaking weight.

Lurking this thread and realizing I've read maybe two of these. I mostly stick to sci-fi. But the way you all describe the scope and character depth in books like 'Pachinko' or 'The Pillars of the Earth' is making me think I should branch out. Is there one that has a bit of a speculative or mythical element to ease me in?

Susanna Kearsley's 'The Winter Sea' (and the subsequent books) blend contemporary and historical storylines. A writer researching the 1708 Jacobite uprising finds her novel echoing her own ancestry, with a poignant romance at the heart of the historical plot. It’s a clever way to show how romantic choices made centuries ago during a failed invasion ripple through DNA and family lore into the present day, literally mixing history with romance across generations.
