gembookbee 's review for:

The Library Thief by Kuchenga Shenjé
4.0

Although I like my historical novels a little bit more gothic than this turned out to be, the aspects of history revealed and exposed in this story are both important and powerful. The tender, vulnerable relationships featured were sensitively explored and I enjoyed the complexity of the characters, even the ones that were truly awful in nature.
