About This Item
2021 FIRST EDITION historical fiction Paris, 1939: Young and ambitious Odile Souchet seems to have the perfect life with her handsome police officer beau and a dream job at the American Library in Paris. When the Nazis march into the city, Odile stands to lose everything she holds dear, including her beloved library. Together with her fellow librarians, Odile joins the Resistance with the best weapons she has: books. But when the war finally ends, instead of freedom, Odile tastes the bitter sting of unspeakable betrayal. Montana, 1983: Lily is a lonely teenager looking for adventure in small-town Montana. Her interest is piqued by her solitary, elderly neighbor. As Lily uncovers more about her neighbor's mysterious past, she finds that they share a love of language, the same longings, and the same intense jealousy, never suspecting that a dark secret from the past connects them. "A love letter to Paris, the power of books, and the beauty of intergenerational friendship" (Booklist), The Paris Libraryshows that extraordinary heroism can sometimes be found in the quietest places.

NB&E, prides itself on rescuing unique and nostalgic books that sometimes include an element. I provide detailed descriptions, multiple photographs, and wrap most dust jacket in a protective sleeve.
Books are noted as either SIGNED or INSCRIBED accordingly. If the book is a remainder or ex-library it is noted. I seldom, if ever, sell these types of books. I CHERISH books and want to provide you with the books you will be proud to own.
With gratitude,
