Description
"Paris, 1939. Young and ambitious Odile Souchet has it all: a handsome police officer beau and her dream job at the American Library in Paris. When the Nazis occupy the city, Odile and her fellow librarians join the Resistance with the best weapons they have: books. When the war finally ends, instead of savoring freedom, Odile tastes the bitter sting of betrayal. Montana, 1983. Lily is a lonely teenager intrigued by the air of mystery about her elderly, solitary neighbor from Paris. As Lily uncovers hints about her past, she finds that they share a love of language and books, never suspecting that a dark secret connects them too. The Paris Library illuminates a little-known corner of history where a passion for literature inspired extraordinary acts of courage and love." -- Page [4] cover.
