The Keeper of Hidden Books (by Madeline Martin)

Well, if a book is historical fiction set in WWII … and about books … then you have won me over! I enjoyed reading and learning about the Warsaw librarians who served during the German occupation in Poland. The beginning of the book was a little slow in getting me invested in the story. But once it had my attention, I was interested in following along until the end. This was a very original and different focus for the time period. I continue to be amazed at the lengths individuals went to during Hitler’s reign of terror to help those who were being persecuted. While smuggling books may seem insignificant, it took a lot of bravery and creativity to accomplish this. And the difference it made in the lives of those who were recipients was significant. While I have read much about the French Resistance, I was not as familiar with that of the Polish Resistance. Their dedication and courage are admirable. If you are a fan of WWII historical fiction books, then I strongly encourage you to pick this one up and get lost in the pages.
