The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles-351 pages
Based on the true story of the heroic librarians at the American Library in Paris. Another wonderful story about the power of books to unite us and bring us together in times of chaos and upheaval. On the brink of WWII, Paris 1939. Young Odile can't believe that she landed a job at the American Library. As the war unfolds and days turn into years, it can change everything you hold dear; your family, friends, lovers. Suddenly you find yourself not knowing who to trust and one misstep can change your whole trajectory in life. Fast forward to Montana 1983. We catch up with the much older Odile and her very inquisitive teen neighbor Lily. Their love for each other grows as Odile helps Lily navigate her teen years, loss of a loved one and a upheaval in her family life. A slow start in the beginning, but once I got into it I enjoyed it very much.
