I am reviewing a copy of The War Librarian through Penguin Group Putnam, Putnam's Sons and Netgalley:
This is a dual timeline story, that shifts from 1918, to 1976. It's the story of two women, a secret and a truth worth fighting for.
In 1918 Emmaline Balakin is a timid and shy young woman who lives in books more than she does her own life. That is until the day an envelope crosses her desk at the Dead Letter Office bearing a name from her past, and Emmaline decides to finally embark on an adventure of her own as a volunteer librarian on the frontlines in France. But when a romance blooms as she secretly participates in a book club for books being censored, Emmaline will need to find more courage within herself than she ever thought possible in order to survive.
In 1976 Kathleen Carre is eager to prove to herself and to her nana that she deserves her acceptance into the first coed class at the United States Naval Academy. The problem is not everyone wants female midshipmen at the Academy, and after tragedy strikes close to home, Kathleen becomes a target. To protect herself, Kathleen must learn to trust others even as she discovers a secret that could be her undoing.
I give The War Librarian five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
