The Paris Library

by Janet Skeslien Charles

Set against the backdrop of World War II, 'The Paris Library' intertwines the lives of Odile Souchet, a librarian at the American Library in Paris, and Lily, a teenager in 1980s Montana. Under the shadow of Nazi occupation, Odile and her fellow librarians join the Resistance to protect their community's access to books, becoming unsung heroes in their fight against censorship and oppression. Decades later, Lily's intrigue about her mysterious neighbor leads her to a profound connection through shared love and deep secrets, uncovering a past that binds them together. This historical novel is an homage to the enduring power of literature and the bonds it forges, celebrating the quiet yet remarkable acts of courage and the resilience of the human spirit.
