Description
Jersey, 1943. Once a warm and neighbourly community, now German soldiers patrol the cobbled streets, imposing a harsh rule on the people of the island. Grace La Mottée, the island''s only librarian, is ordered to destroy books which threaten the new regime. Instead, she hides the stories away in secret. Along with her headstrong best friend, postwoman Bea Rose, she wants to fight back. So she forms the wartime book club: a lifeline, offering fearful islanders the joy and escapism of reading. But as the occupation drags on, the women''s quiet acts of bravery become more perilous - and more important - than ever before. And, when tensions turn to violence, they are 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.EVERYONE LOVES THE WARTIME BOOK CLUB:''Wish I could give it more stars'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐''I was utterly enthralled . . . it reminds us how strong we can be in the face of adversity'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐''Tears, laughs and genuine love for all the characters in this book'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐''A heartwarming tale . . . shows against all odds and hardships people can survive'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐''Full of wonderful characters and their determination to get through the worst times'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐AND SO DO YOUR FAVOURITE AUTHORS...''One of the very best books I''ve read in a long time'' PETER JAMES''Engaging'' RACHEL HORE''Both heartwarming and heartbreaking'' GILL PAUL''A poignant masterpiece'' MADELINE MARTIN''A book to be savoured and remembered'' GILL THOMPSON
