Bingham Books was a dream they shared together, and without Harry, Gertie wonders if it's time to take her faithful old lab, Hemingway, and retire to the seaside. But fate has other plans for Gertie. In Germany, Hitler is on the rise, and Jewish families are making the heart-wrenching decision to send their children away from the growing turmoil. After a nudge from her dear friend Charles, Gertie decides to take in one of these refugees, a headstrong teenage girl named Hedy. With the terrible threat of war on the horizon, the world needs people like Gertie Bingham and her bookshop. When the Blitz begins and bombs whistle overhead, Gertie and Hedy come up with the idea to start an air raid book club. 541 $d 20230919. 650 $a Book Clubs (Discussion Groups) $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Books and Reading $x Fiction. 650 $a Teenage refugees $v Fiction. 650 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z London $z London $v Fiction. 651 1 $a London (England) $x History $y Bombardment, 1940-1941 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical Fiction. 700 $a Bond, Jilly, $e Narrator. 941 $a 1 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20231109010833.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B20ACEF67ECD11EE8E6E5E0C26ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
