H. G. Wells 
Mr. Britling Sees It Through 

Something of a departure from Wells’ best-known works of science fiction, this domestic drama follows the wartime experiences of a famous writer and his family as they struggle to survive—physically and mentally—through World War I. Although the Britlings are far from the battlefront, they are still forced to make sacrifices of their own. This gratifying page-turner will please fans of historical fiction.
