This was a fun read. Set in WW2 and is the story of 4 women in Maine who start a book club. I enjoyed the flow of this story and how everything tied together in the end. I loved reading their discussions on books and now I have a few I want to go read. I listened to the audio book and it was rather easy to follow for me even though it went from the 4 women.
adventurous informative fast-paced

A character driven and plot driven story! It's hard to find a book where an author can do both really great.

A Book Club brings strangers together during wwll. Avis who takes over the library since her brother went off to war wants nothing to do with the library and hates reading. But the owner of the Library wants to turn it into a nursery to help with the war effort. Avis can't let that happen, so she comes up with the Blackout Book Club.

A beautiful written story taking place on the home front during a war torn area. The characters all had different personalities, but were able to come together as a community in so many different ways. A lot of the times we forget that we need our friends and neighbors. Not just for friendship but to help us in times of struggle. Amy Lynn Green brings her wonderful writing skills of showing what it means to be a community, showing that staying where you are doesn't mean your stuck if you have the right people to help.

*thank you to Baker Publishing for a copy of this book to read and review.
