It follows the life of Odile Souchet in Paris as a young librarian at The American Library, and then as an older woman living in rural Montana, befriending the teenager girl next door, Lily.Īlmost all the characters (not Odile or Lily) are based on real life people working at this library in Paris during the Nazi occupation in WWII. This is your classic historical fiction that jumps back and forth from past (1940s) and the present (1980s). Unfortunately, the book didn’t live up to my expectations for this one. “Words are worth fighting for, they are worth the risk.” Books the fresh air breathed in to keep the heart beating, to keep the brain imagining, to keep hope alive.”
