The Last Bookshop in London by Madeline Martin
4.0

3.5 stars but rounded up! Also the narrator was fabulous which always makes a difference.

This is a WWII book but at its heart it is really a book about books and the ways those can bring people together. Its a book of loss and continuing on through things that feel impossible. Its about seeing London bombed and the horror of that while seeing how the citizens can make a change and save one another.
This was not a book about those on the frontlines of the war. Instead this story shows how everyday people survived. It primarily takes place during the Blitz and I appreciated hearing about those experiences.

I enjoyed this easy reading historical fiction. I'll happily read more books by the author.
