The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles

5.0

I loved this story. It was a perfect mixture of the history of a harsh time and the softness of the characters and their own stories. A lot of times with WWII novels, you get so lost in the events of the war that you don't necessarily get to bond with these characters as much as you would like, but this novel keeps you learning more about the characters and feeling the love and guilt and fear that they feel. The story brought you through loss and love and excitement and mystery all at the same time, while not making me sick to my stomach with the deep gorey details of the war experiences at the time. It taught you valuable lessons and inspired you to be better. I loved it. Would totally recommend.
