*A BookBub Pick for Best Historical Fiction of Summer 2023* A
heartwarming story about the power of books to bring us together,
inspired by the true story of the underground library in WWII
Warsaw, by the New York Times bestselling author of The Last
Bookshop in London. All her life, Zofia has found comfort in two
things during times of hardship: books and her best friend, Janina.
But no one could have imagined the horrors of the Nazi occupation
in Warsaw. As the bombs rain down and Hitler's forces loot and
destroy the city, Zofia finds that now books are also in need of
saving. With the death count rising and persecution intensifying,
Zofia jumps to action to save her friend and salvage whatever books
she can from the wreckage, hiding them away, and even starting a
clandestine book club. She and her dearest friend never surrender
their love of reading, even when Janina is forced into the newly
formed ghetto. But the closer Warsaw creeps toward liberation, the
more dangerous life becomes for the women and their families - and
escape may not be possible for everyone. As the destruction rages
around them, Zofia must fight to save her friend and preserve her
culture and community using the only weapon they have left -
literature.
