Review: The Underground Library by Jennifer Ryan
Summary & Review:
Juliet Lansdown, the new deputy librarian, is determined to bring life back to Bethnal Green Library when she finds that it isn’t the busy hub she thought it would be. But can she show the men in charge that a woman can run the library, even though she might have to deal with her past, which could stop her?
Katie Upwood is very happy to be working at the library, but she will only be there until the fall when she goes to college. But after her boyfriend died in battle and her family was fighting, she kept a secret that would change her life and had no one to turn to for help.
Sofie Baumann, a young Jewish refugee, came to London on a domestic service visa but now works as a maid for a man who is horrible to her. She hides out in the library whenever she can. There, she meets other writers and makes friends. They also help her find her sister, who is still trying to escape Nazi-occupied Europe.
