Loved this one!☺️ A lot of this story is based on real people and events. This is exactly what I look for with historical fiction! Loved the characters and the plot.

based on true stories, heartfelt, compassionate, insightful, beautifully written.

Well I was writing a review and suddenly the app quit and lost everything I wrote!

“Libraries are lungs. Books are the fresh air breathed in to keep the heart beating, to keep the brain imagining, to keep hope alive.”

I loved this book and recommend it to anyone who loves true stories, WWII fiction, and libraries. It was so well researched and written.

Slow start to about 1/2 the book… just okay for me.

It was a pretty good story. There were some unique details. But the narrative was a bit melodramatic and the actions of one of the characters-- actions which completely altered the plot-- seemed to me out of character for that particular character.

Meh
