A review by pam2375
The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles

4.0

WWII Historical Fiction is by far my favorite genre and this one did not disappoint. This story is told in dual timelines. I have read many a book that tries to make this work, some work well and some, well, not so much. This one works!

We get to follow our protag, Odile, from 1939 Paris at the American Library, where she is a librarian to 1983 Montana where we meet a lonely teenage girl, Lily. The story moves along at a wonderful pace and kept me engaged through the end.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Atria Books for this advanced readers copy. This book is due to release in February 2021.
