Inspired by true events and beautifully researched, The Wartime Book Club is a gripping and heartwarming novel that tells the story of women who joined the resistance against the German occupation of Jersey in 1943, including Grace La Mottée, the island’s only librarian. When Grace is ordered to destroy books that threaten the island’s new regime, she, along with her best friend Bea Rose, fights back by hiding the stories and forming the wartime book club. An engaging tale about courage and resistance in the face of terror, The Wartime Book Club brings to life this remarkable moment of history and is, at its heart, a testament to the power of books in the darkest of times.
