Paris 1940. This book was inspired by true events during World War II. Laurence Sidot's family bookstore in LaVallee du Cerf, France is being used as a French Resistance location during Germany's occupation of France. A book club is formed to read and discuss the banned books. Some of the books carry coded messages.
EadieB In America 1993, after her mother's death, Jeanne learns that she has inherited a bookstore in a French village from a woman named Laurence. She travels to France with her father, finds a silver pendant under the floorboard of the bookstore and learns who her mother really was. This was my first book by Siobhan Curham but won't be my last. It is a beautiful story about the power of books. 3y
EadieB The characters were very believable and well-drawn. The book held my interest from start to finish. If you love historical wartime novels, you will love this book. I would like to thank NetGalley and Bookcouture for a copy of the audio for an honest opinion. 3y
