As a person who finds solace and peace by escaping through literature, I found myself resonating with so many quotes, saving them as I read along. It is a story for all who truly love books, libraries, and enjoy a blend of fiction and history. The Paris Library will appeal to bibliophiles everywhere. The novel celebrates libraries as an important part of our communities, accessible to all people, and a safe haven that treats everyone with compassion and dignity. The ALP is 100 years old and still stands!! In the novel, the library operates underground during WWII, lending books to Jewish members barred from libraries. While reading this book, I learned so many new things, looking up facts as I read along the way. The Paris Library is a historical fiction that takes place at the American Library in Paris during WWII. I loved it so much that I decided halfway through reading it that I wanted the hard copy and went and purchased one for myself. Thank you to NetGalley and Atria books for my free e-ARC version of The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles.
