Some books about the 1950's are not that well written in my opinion as they leave some good details out from this era or do not have good enough information.
Others though are so detailed and are so interesting that you cannot put down not matter if it is already 1:00am.
1) Wishing you were here by Catherine Chant.
This novel is about how a woman who makes a wish that ends her in the 1950's. Where she tries to save a teenager from dying but gets caught up in knowing him. Which she eventually falls in love with him.
2) A 1950s Housewife by Sheila Hardy.
This book is all about the strict rules and expectations housewives had to do and abide by. How married life was like during the post-war period. What did women and men do to spice up their marriages as well.
3) Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger.
Many people usually read this book in school but not for all. This book is about how a young man goes through adulthood while staying in NYC. We as readers see what happy times and struggles he goes through.
4) The Alice Network by Kate Quinn.
Although it starts off within the year of 1947 it does go into the 1950's and after this decade as well. It shows life of a young college girl who is pregnant during the time of World War II. She is unmarried and almost about to get kicked out of her family home because of it.
5) Bunny Lake is Missing by Evelyn Piper.
This novel is about a young woman named Bunny who goes missing but how the police refuse to search for her. Even with the offered help by Blanche as but as she bothers an officer she falls in love. This book has great suspense.
