Jersey, 1943. When the German Army invades the tranquil island, librarian Grace La Motée is determined to keep her services running. Ordered to destroy books which threaten the Nazi regime, she refuses, instead hiding them away and fighting back by forming a book club: a lifeline to help islanders escape the terror of war, one chapter at a time.
But soon Grace's quiet acts of bravery become even more perilous. She's harbouring dangerous secrets — ones that put her life in danger — and when tensions turn to violence, she is forced to face the true, terrible cost of resistance...
Based on astonishing real events, The Wartime Book Club is a love letter to the power of books in the darkest of times — as well as a moving page-turner that brings to life the remarkable, untold story of an island at war.
"A beautifully written tribute to the resilience of ordinary people — inspiring and heart-warming."
Perfect for fans of: Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale, Heather Morris' The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Kate Quinn's The Rose Code, and readers who enjoy WW2 historical fiction with strong female leads.
