À propos de cet audio
An uplifting and inspiring novel based on the true story of a librarian who created an underground shelter during World War II, perfect for fans of The Paris Library or The Last Bookshop in London.
London, 1944: Clara Button is no ordinary librarian. While war ravages the city above her, Clara has risked everything she holds dear to turn the Bethnal Green tube station into the country’s only underground library. Down here, a secret community thrives with thousands of bunk beds, a nursery, a café, and a theater—offering shelter, solace, and escape from the bombs that fall upon their city.
Along with her glamorous best friend and assistant Ruby Munroe, Clara ensures the library is the beating heart of life underground. But as the war drags on, the women's determination to remain strong in the face of adversity is tested to the limits when it may come at the price of keeping those closest to them alive.

Histoire
Paris, 1939: The Nazis think Éliane can't understand German. They’re wrong. They think she’s merely cataloging art in a Louvre museum and unaware they’re stealing national treasures for their private collections. They have no idea she’s carefully decoding their notes and smuggling information to the Resistance. But Éliane is playing a dangerous game. Does she dare trust the man she once loved with her secrets, or will he only betray her once again?

Histoire
At the height of WWII, five idealistic young Americans receive a mysterious letter from the OSS, asking them if they are willing to fight for their country. The men and women from very different backgrounds - a Texan athlete with German roots, an upper-crust son of a French mother and a wealthy businessman, a dirt-poor Midwestern fly fisherman, an orphaned fashion designer, and a ravishingly beautiful female fencer - all answer the call of duty, but each for a secret reason of his or her own. They bond immediately, in a group code-named Dragonfly.

The 2:00 a.m. call is the first time Lexie Vidler has heard her sister's voice in years. Annie is a drug addict, a thief, a liar - and in trouble, again. Lexie has always bailed Annie out, given her money, a place to sleep, sent her to every kind of rehab. But this time, she's not just strung out - she's pregnant and in premature labor. If she goes to the hospital, she'll lose custody of her baby - maybe even go to prison. But the alternative is unthinkable.

So enjoyable and educational
As a retired librarian, the title piqued my interest and curiosity. I was a medical librarian so I didn’t have any real relatable experiences, but nevertheless a librarian wears many hats and this was proven in this novel.
The attitudes of whether or not a female should have this auspicious task of properly managing a library, made my blood boil, however it was written for the times and needed the conflict.
The history of libraries in wartime UK, the Nazi’s invasion of Jersey, and the contribution of books from the Canadians were very educational as, alas, I didn’t know these things.
Being Canadian, it tickled me pink to have the bit about Canada sending over books. Sounds VERY Canadian 💜

These characters are so relatable that they feel real, as do what they went through during the course of the story. Thompson has a depth hand at creating a world that draws the reader in and feel so very real. This story sheds a light on the various aspects of the human spirit during the darkest times. The story and characters are captivating and interesting from start to finish.
I listened to this on audio and enjoyed the story. The narrator did a good job.
