THE KEEPER OF HIDDEN BOOKS - MADELINE MARTIN KA...

A NATIONAL BESTSELLER A BookBub Pick for Best Historical Fiction of Summer 2023 A heartwarming
story about the power of books to bring us together  inspired by the true story of the
underground library in WWII Warsaw  by the New York Times bestselling author of The Last
Bookshop in London. All her life  Zofia has found comfort in two things during times of
hardship: books and her best friend  Janina. But no one could have imagined the horrors of the
Nazi occupation in Warsaw. As the bombs rain down and Hitler's forces loot and destroy the city
Zofia finds that now books are also in need of saving. With the death count rising and
persecution intensifying  Zofia jumps to action to save her friend and salvage whatever books
she can from the wreckage  hiding them away  and even starting a clandestine book club. She and
her dearest friend never surrender their love of reading  even when Janina is forced into the
newly formed ghetto. But the closer Warsaw creeps toward liberation  the more dangerous life
becomes for the women and their families - and escape may not be possible for everyone. As the
destruction rages around them  Zofia must fight to save her friend and preserve her culture and
community using the only weapon they have left - literature.
