Based on the true historical story of the Bethnal Green secret underground Library, this book will truly grab at the heartstrings. While the characters have been fictionalized, the Library itself actually existed on the unused tracks of the underground tube station. The story describes the unimaginable & raw tales of survivors, the losses, the loves, the courage. It was truly a different time & the perseverance & determination of the characters was truly inspiring.
It was quite a long story, but it was beautiful in a bittersweet way. I loved it.
I also really appreciated the notes left by the author, the history & the photos of the shelter & original Library.
It’s one that will stick with you.
