INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "An irresistible tale which
showcases the transformative power of literacy, reminding us of the
hope and sanctuary our neighborhood bookstores offer during the
perilous trials of war and unrest." --KIM MICHELE RICHARDSON,
author of The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek August 1939: London
prepares for war as Hitler's forces sweep across Europe. Grace
Bennett has always dreamed of moving to the city, but the bunkers
and drawn curtains that she finds on her arrival are not what she
expected. And she certainly never imagined she'd wind up working at
Primrose Hill, a dusty old bookshop nestled in the heart of London.
Through blackouts and air raids as the Blitz intensifies, Grace
discovers the power of storytelling to unite her community in ways
she never dreamed--a force that triumphs over even the darkest
nights of the war. "A gorgeously written story of love, friendship,
and survival set against the backdrop of WWII-era London."
--JILLIAN CANTOR, author of In Another Time and Half Life "A love
letter to the power of books to unite us, to hold the world
together when it's falling apart around our ears. This fresh take
on what London endured during WWII should catapult Madeline Martin
to the top tier of historical fiction novelists." --KAREN ROBARDS,
author of The Black Swan of Paris Don't miss Madeline Martin's
newest historical novel, The Librarian Spy.
