À propos de cet audio
London, 1944: Clara Button is no ordinary librarian. While war ravages the city above her, Clara has risked everything she holds dear to turn the Bethnal Green tube station into the country’s only underground library. Down here, a secret community thrives with thousands of bunk beds, a nursery, a café, and a theater—offering shelter, solace, and escape from the bombs that fall upon their city.
Along with her glamorous best friend and assistant Ruby Munroe, Clara ensures the library is the beating heart of life underground. But as the war drags on, the women's determination to remain strong in the face of adversity is tested to the limits when it may come at the price of keeping those closest to them alive.

Ce que les critiques en disent
The attitudes of whether or not a female should have this auspicious task of properly managing a library, made my blood boil, however it was written for the times and needed the conflict.
The history of libraries in wartime UK, the Nazi’s invasion of Jersey, and the contribution of books from the Canadians were very educational as, alas, I didn’t know these things.
Being Canadian, it tickled me pink to have the bit about Canada sending over books. Sounds VERY Canadian 💜
So enjoyable and educational

This story will take you on an adventure – both emotionally and through your imagination. These characters are so relatable that they feel real, as do what they went through during the course of the story. Thompson has a depth hand at creating a world that draws the reader in and feel so very real. This story sheds a light on the various aspects of the human spirit during the darkest times. The story and characters are captivating and interesting from start to finish.
I listened to this on audio and enjoyed the story. The narrator did a good job.
Good Read
