Jocelyn struggles to keep her life together as the Nazis occupy Paris.  Her husband is called to fight and the threat of books being taken from her beloved library is growing bigger.  Told through her letters to a famous French author, Jocelyn must do what she can to protect her library and her country.

I really liked that this novel was set in Saint-Malo.  In the author's note, Escobar explains his inspiration for the story and how Saint-Malo is not a well-known part of France's history during WWII.
