Sharp prose. An incessant undercurrent of suspicion.

Norsworthy’s novel keeps readers on edge until the last page. Classic spy fiction fans will appreciate this story’s authenticity, its morally complex characters, and the theme of loyalty—in both marriage and intelligence work.

Anna Daugherty, award winning author of The Grace Church series
A Kirkus Reviews “Get It” Selection: The fates of two extended families are intertwined during World War II in Norsworthy’s stirring historical novel [War Bonds]. Norsworthy masterfully captures the action on two fronts: home and battlefield. Her thorough research lends an immediacy to the narrative that makes the reader feel present for each scene.
Kirkus Reviews
In her debut novel, War Bonds, Pamela Norsworthy takes readers on a gut-wrenching journey through love and loss in World War II Europe. She tells the sweeping epic through the eyes of British and American POWs, a foster child forced to mature beyond his years, a Nazi commandant and his wife, and others. The story made me sob as I contemplated fidelity to spouse and country, moral boundaries loosening in the face of war, personal and patriotic sacrifice, evil, grace, and the drive to find beauty in an often-ugly world.
Chris Lancette, for the Washington Independent Review of Books
Readers looking for an engrossing, often poignant story to touch their hearts will find it here. Well-written and rigorously researched, War Bonds is a stirring novel and a welcome addition to the World War II genre.
