****A NATIONAL BESTSELLER**
"Readers will be on the edge of their seats.... A brilliant tale of
resistance, courage and ultimately hope."** -Kelly Rimmer, New York
Times bestselling author of The Warsaw Orphan**
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Bookshop in
London comes a moving new novel inspired by the true history of
America's library spies of World War II.
Ava thought her job as a librarian at the Library of Congress would mean
a quiet, routine existence. But an unexpected offer from the US military
has brought her to Lisbon with a new mission: posing as a librarian
while working undercover as a spy gathering intelligence.
Meanwhile, in occupied France, Elaine has begun an apprenticeship at a
printing press run by members of the Resistance. It's a job usually
reserved for men, but in the war, those rules have been forgotten. Yet
she knows that the Nazis are searching for the press and its printer in
order to silence them.
As the battle in Europe rages, Ava and Elaine find themselves connecting
through coded messages and discovering hope in the face of war.
