thriving community of students, writers and book lovers - is a
dream come true. When war is declared, the Library is determined to
remain open. But then the Nazis invade Paris, and everything
changes. In Occupied Paris, choices as black and white as the words
on a page become a murky shade of grey - choices that will put many
on the wrong side of history, and the consequences of which will
echo for decades to come. MONTANA, 1983 Lily is a lonely teenager
desperate to escape small-town Montana. She grows close to her
neighbour Odile, discovering they share the same love of language,
the same longings. But as Lily uncovers more about Odile's
mysterious past, she discovers a dark secret, closely guarded and
long hidden. Based on the true Second World War story of the heroic
librarians at the American Library in Paris, this is an
unforgettable novel of romance, friendship, family, and of heroism
found in the quietest of places.
