H. G. Wells 
Mr. Britling Sees it Through [PDF ebook] 

Something of a departure from Wells’ best-known works of science fiction, this domestic drama follows the wartime experiences of a famous writer and his family as they struggle to survive — physically and mentally — through World War I. Although the Britlings are far from the battlefront, they are still forced to make sacrifices of their own. This gratifying page-turner will please fans of historical fiction.
