A review by dejalu
The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles
4.0
I longed for time enough to read this but life kept getting in the way. I purposely left the last fourth for my New Year break so I could absorb it without pause and I’m so glad I did.
This had several things I love- France, libraries and the love and power of books, historical fiction based in real history, and lovable but complex characters. Nice surprise was some unexpected dramatic twists revealed toward the end.
Best (unexpected) plus was that it was a book that recommended other books. I’ll carry Odile and Lily with me for a bit and imagine their future with a happy ending.
