good blitz novels?

and Elizabeth Bowen’s The Heat of the Day.

― by the light of the burning Citroën
Haven't read her novels, but several phases of WWII as experienced on the UK homefront (if you can incl. bombed areas in such a designation)are in the 1940s (also to some extent before and after) layers of The Collected Stories (the hardback edition with the gold letters on royal blue anyway; there may be another version that's shorter). Some characters try/have to adapt their hive lives, especially working and drinking and schmoozing, running for advancement and just to keep in place and now not to get blown up or freak out if somebody else does---which would and was and will have been terrible, but talk it through 'til we talk through it, just enough and carry on---others feel like everything's changing, and want and/or don't want to act accordingly---

Thanks for the recommendations everyone!
