| book description |

When the Blitz threatens the heart of a London neighbourhood, three young women must use their fighting spirit to keep their community together in this heartwarming and inspirational novel, inspired by the true story of Bethnal Green Library. On the day Juliet Lansdown reports to work for the first time at Bethnal Green Library, it isnâ€™t the bustling hub sheâ€™s been expecting. But, in the face of German attacks, sheâ€™s intent on making it a place where everyone feels safe and welcome. Katie Upwood is thrilled to be working at the library, too, though sheâ€™s only there until she heads off to university in autumn. But, after the death of her sweetheart on the front line and some unexpected family strife, sheâ€™s more in need of support herself. Sofie Baumann, a Jewish refugee without any family to lean on, finds comfort and friendship in Bethnal Greenâ€™s rapidly growing literary scene and escapes to the library every chance she gets. But, with her asylum in London tied to a domestic work visa issued by an unscrupulous employer, her position is vulnerable. When bombs damage the library, Juliet canâ€™t bear to give up on her safe haven of books, so she relocates the stacks to an underground station, where the cityâ€™s residents shelter nightly. The three women must work together to overcome their own troubles and keep the library - the beating heart of their community - open to all . . .
