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 MottÌe, 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"--Back cover. 650 7 $a Librarians $v Fiction. $2 Sears 650 7 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Fiction. $2 Sears 650 7 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Women $v Fiction. $2 Sears 650 7 $a Books and reading $v Fiction. $2 Sears 650 7 $a Discussion groups $v Fiction. $2 Sears 651 0 $a Jersey $x Social conditions $y 20th century $v Fiction. 651 6 $a Jersey (IÌles Anglo-Normandes) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $x Conditions sociales $0 (CaQQLa)201- 0376402 $y 20e sieÌcle $0 (CaQQLa)201-0376402 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509011512.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7D18BEA20DC911EF973F313347ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
