The War Librarian by Addison Armstrong
5.0
Run and do not walk to preorder this book! It will be hitting shelves August 2022!
This is my first book by Addison Armstrong and this one did not disappoint!
I have read a lot of historical fiction books but the majority of them are set during WW2. When I saw that this was set during WW1, I instantly requested it. There are so many things that I loved about this book. First, this book is rich in history. In Emmaline's timeline, we read all about WW1 history and the history of what war librarians do. In Kathleen's, we get a glimpse into the mid 70's and all the history surrounding this time.
Second, this isn't your typical dual timeline book which I'm thankful for. I got to see two strong female characters trying to navigate very similar (and different) historical issues.
Lastly, Armstrong did an amazing job bringing to life these characters that I felt sucked into the story. I felt all their emotions as if they were my own. If an author can elicit this type of response from me, I have to give the book 5 stars.
This would be perfect for fans of: Lisa Wingate, Kristin Hannah, Kate Quinn
Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
