Charlotte Gray
9.  Charlotte Gray by Sebastian Faulks

Enigma
10.  Enigma by Robert Harris
The list author says:
  "Another example of the source novel being better than the film, and an interesting insight into codebreaking in WW2 (especially when compared to Elizabeth Elgin's treatment of the Enigma machine)."
Used & New from: £0.01
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (59 customer reviews)

Chocolate Girls
11.  Chocolate Girls by Annie Murray
The list author says:
  "A book sponsored by Cadburys. How commercial but a combination of my two favourite things so I won't complain. It's a good solid read if not an instant classic."
Used & New from: £0.01
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (30 customer reviews)
