I have a book recommendation for you.  Ruth & Gisela by Elizabeth Wix is a wonderful read.  It's a mixture of domestic fiction and war story told from the viewpoints of two very different women--one British and one German whose lives will touch briefly and later intermingle in the most unexpected ways.  I could imagine it the sort of novel that Virago would publish--particularly one of their older titles with those distinctive green covers that I very much miss seeing on their new releases.  Or perhaps something along the lines of a novel that you'll find in the Persephone Books catalog.  As for the story, think of something by Sue Gee or maybe Mary Wesley or even closer to Margaret Forster's work--all authors I have read and loved.  It's domestic fiction of the cozy variety but the story has substance as well.
