Summary
When the Blitz threatens the heart of a London neighbourhood, three young women must use their fighting spirit to keep their community together in this heartwarming novel. On the day Juliet Lansdown reports to work for the first time at Bethnal Green Library, it isn't the bustling hub she's been expecting. But, in the face of German attacks, she's intent on making it a place where all of their neighbours feel safe and welcome. Katie Upwood is thrilled to be working at the library, too, though she's only there until she heads off to university in autumn. But, after the death of her sweetheart on the front line and some unexpected family strife, she's more in need of support herself. Sofie Baumann, a Jewish refugee without any family to lean on, finds comfort and friendship in Bethnal Green's rapidly growing literary scene and escapes to the library every chance she gets. But her asylum in London is tied to a domestic work visa issued by an unscrupulous employer, leaving her vulnerable and unsure where to turn when her work environment becomes unbearable. So, when a slew of bombs damage the library, Juliet can't bear to give up on her safe haven of books and relocates the stacks to an underground station where the city's residents shelter nightly, determined to continue lending out stories that will keep spirits up. But tragedy after tragedy strikes, threatening to unmoor the women and sever the ties of their community. Will Juliet, Katie and Sofie be able to overcome their own troubles to save the library? Or will the beating heart of their neighbourhood be lost for ever?
