I love story was very captivating and thrilling tell me on my seat every minute of book. I enjoyed reading about the resistance in World War 2 in French

After falling in love with Martin's previous book, I knew The Librarian Spy was a MUST READ for me. Set during WWII, this novel feels fresh and unique within the historical fiction genre. This was the first time I'd read a book set in Portugal during this time period, and I was completely transported to the incredible setting. I had no idea that librarians were used as spies during the war and I really appreciated the research that went into this story.

I also loved Elaine's perspective, set in occupied France. This portion of the story was emotionally moving and absolutely inspiring. Martin masterfully sets the scene and creates characters that make the pages come alive.

This is another gorgeous read by Madeline Martin, full of courage, resistance and sacrifice, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to historical fiction fans! Plus... that cover. Could it be any more beautiful?

I love reading stories about women during the war. I love hearing about how women helped. I really enjoyed reading about how Ava and Elaine develop as characters. The plot was really good. I don’t like to give out spoilers.
