The Banned Books of Berlin | Daisy Wood
1 post | 1 to read
Another unforgettable story, tying together past and present, from the bestselling author of The Forgotten Bookshop in Paris and The Royal Librarian Berlin, 1933. The night skies are burning bright with huge bonfires of banned books. The Nazi party is swelling in number, Berlin is no longer a safe place for young Freya. She can only watch on, horrified, as her beloved city falls to fascism - and the usually law-abiding Freya is forced to make a choice: continue being a bystander, or sacrifice herself to save the lives of others... New York, present day. Maddie commutes home to her family to reset. Struggling to fully turn off from her work, she's is shocked to come across a pre-war German diary amongst her Grandpa's things. And when she starts to dig into the diary, Maddie's shocked by what she finds. And so begins a journey that will take Maddie beyond America as she searches for the truth about Freya, and how she changed people's lives across the globe...

5/12.

We meet Freya in 1930 in Berlin as she struggles to survive and as Hitler starts to get his power.

Then we meet Maddie in 2024, the great granddaughter of Freya, when she returns home to Los Angeles after an awful incident at work.

Maddie finds a diary that her grandmother had written.

What does Maddie find inside?

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
