I mostly don't like Hitchcock much, but as I generally trust your recommendations, I'll keep an eye out for it.
If you ever happen to want contemporary alt-historical WWII, Nevil Shute wrote a whole pile of books during the war, explicitly to cheer people up, all of them set just slightly ahead of when he was writing. They start with What Happened to the Corbetts, (1939) Landfall (1940), Pied Piper (1942), Pastoral (1944) and Most Secret (1945) -- and then because I always think it goes with these, Requiem for a Wren (1955).
And now I feel like watching Canterbury Tale. There's a film that earns its ending.
