1946 chronicles the lives of Reginald and Edwina Gillmor, the paternal grandparents of the author. The story builds up each character as it details their upbringing and individual lives, leading up to their meeting and marriage. It intersperses the events of Edwina’s upbringing with significant historical events of the twentieth century. Through Gillmore’s narration from Edwina's perspective, her character is given a voice, and the story of an independent woman’s struggles and decisions comes to life.
In 1946, Gillmore invites history connoisseurs and general readers alike with her thorough descriptions of the setting, organization of the story from year to year, and flow of the plot. This renders the story significant, even in the present time. This significance is magnified in the professional reviews created for the book.
Readers’ Favorite reviewers collectively gave the book a five-star rating. Jose Cornelio remarked, “There are powerful themes that are ingeniously written in this book, including love and marriage, creating wealth, scientific inventions, politics, and war.” Meanwhile, K.C. Finn stated, “Biography fans who are curious about life pre and post the World Wars in the United States of America will certainly have their fill of accurately described real-life difficulties, the incredible and expedient advances made in technology during wartime, and the strong bond between two people who were determined to survive and thrive through it all.” These reviews stand as a testament to the idea that biography can sometimes be more fascinating than fiction.
