My review:????
The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles is set in Paris during World War 2, and is the story of the librarians at the American Library in Paris.
We meet Odile who is young and in love, living with her parents and brother in Paris in 1939. She has a young man who is courting her, and works at the American Library, except the Nazis have taken control of Paris.
In Montana in 1983, Lily is a teenager, whose mother is dying and her neighbour Odile is there at a time when she is most needed.
We jump between these two stories, learning more about Odile and Lily, and what happened in Paris and Montana. This is a well written book, with stories of friendship, love and loss.
The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles was published on 9th February 2021, and is available on Amazon, Waterstones (signed edition!) and Bookshop.org.

I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to John Murray Press.
