Set against the backdrop of WWII, "The Librarian of Burned Books" weaves the stories of three women—Althea in 1933 Berlin, Hannah in 1936 Paris, and Vivian in 1944 New York—whose lives intersect through their belief in the transformative power of books. Althea, drawn into a group of resisters, questions her understanding of Berlin. Hannah, tormented by past betrayals, seeks redemption through her work at the German Library of Burned Books. In New York, Vivian fights censorship to preserve the impact of portable paperbacks on soldiers overseas. As their paths converge, the novel explores the enduring influence of literature during wartime, inspired by the true story of the Council of Books in Wartime.
