Y'all know I love a good World War II novel, so here's your next historical fiction read. Kate Thompson is taking us to German-occupied islands to share about the real people who held on to their intellectual freedom despite books being banned. Get ready to get off in the historical weeds with us!
SYNOPSIS OF "THE WARTIME LIBRARY"
From enchanting cliff tops and white sandy bays to the pretty cobbled streets of St Helier, Jersey is known as the land of milk and honey. But for best friends Bea Rose, the local postwoman, and Grace Le Motte, who works in the island's only library, it becomes the frontline to everyday resistance when their beloved island is occupied by German forces in 1940.
Inspired by astonishing true events, THE WARTIME BOOK CLUB is an unforgettable story of everyday bravery and resistance, full of romance, drama, and camaraderie and a tribute to the joy of reading and the power of books in our darkest hour.
