In WWII, three women’s fates intertwine through their love of books. Althea, an American writer in 1933 Berlin, is drawn into a resistance group. Hannah, in 1936 Paris, finds solace in the German Library of Burned Books. Vivian, in 1944 New York, fights censorship of books sent to soldiers.

A fascinating look at the power of books during wartime. The intertwined stories were compelling, though I found Vivian’s narrative less engaging than the others.
