"Ava thought her job as a librarian at the Library of Congress would mean a quiet, routine existence. But an unexpected offer from the US military has brought her to Lisbon with a new mission: posing as a librarian while working undercover as a spy gathering intelligence.
Meanwhile, in occupied France, Elaine has begun an apprenticeship at a printing press run by members of the Resistance. It’s a job usually reserved for men, but in the war, those rules have been forgotten. Yet she knows that the Nazis are searching for the press and its printer in order to silence them. As the battle in Europe rages, Ava and Elaine find themselves connecting through coded messages and discovering hope in the face of war."--Goodreads blurb
Librarians? Spies? WWII fiction? Some of my favorite things! I liked the stories told from different viewpoints and the real feeling you got of the different countries during the war. In that horrible time, it seems like Lisbon would have been one of the better places to be, but we also heard about the horrible conditions in France. This was a great story.
