"Leave it to a librarian to point out the alliteration in my life's tragedies."
The Lions of Fifth Avenue might be my new favorite Fiona Davis story - it grabbed my attention from the first chapter; I was fully invested in the lives of not one but all of the characters within the pages. It was fascinating to read along as everything about the history (and future) was revealed.
Both Sadie and Laura were the female protagonists that I desperately needed to read about. They were both willing to stand up for themselves and do what needed to be done for the library's good.
Speaking of the library, Fiona Davis painted such vivid descriptions throughout The Lions of Fifth Avenue that I was transported right into the New York Public Library walls. By the end of the book, I was itching to visit!
