À propos de cet audio

 Based on the true World War II story of the American Library in Paris, an unforgettable novel about the power of books and the bonds of friendship—and the ordinary heroes who can be found in the most perilous times and the quietest places.

Paris, 1939.

Young, ambitious, and tempestuous, Odile Souchet has it all: Paul, her handsome police officer beau; Margaret, her best friend from England; Remy, her twin brother who she adores; and a dream job at the American Library in Paris, working alongside the library’s legendary director, Dorothy Reeder. When World War II breaks out, Odile stands to lose everything she holds dear—including her beloved library. After the Nazi army marches into the City of Light and declares a war on words, Odile and her fellow librarians join the Resistance with the best weapons they have: books. Again and again, they risk their lives to help their fellow Jewish readers, but by war’s end, Odile tastes the bitter sting of unspeakable betrayal.

Montana, 1983.

Odile’s solitary existence in gossipy small-town Montana is unexpectedly interrupted by her neighbor Lily, a lonely teenager craving adventure. As Lily uncovers more about Odile’s mysterious past, they find they share not only a love of language but also the same lethal jealousy. Odile helps Lily navigate the troubled waters of adolescence by always recommending the right book at the right time, never suspecting that Lily will be the one to help her reckon with her own terrible secret.

Based on the true story of the American Library in Paris, The Paris Library is a mesmerizing and captivating novel about the people and the books that make us who we are, for good and for bad, and the courage it takes to forgive. 20e siècle Amitié Fiction Fiction de genre Fiction féminine Historique Guerre Inspirant Montana

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Three narrators present a little-known story about the American Library in Paris during the Nazi occupation. The two main characters are a precocious preteen named Lily, who lives in Montana in 1983, and a librarian named Odile, who lives in Paris in 1939. Narrator Nicky Diss presents a sunny, high-spirited Lily, who is passionate about books and in love with the Dewey Decimal System. Narrator Sarah Feathers offers an understated yet substantial portrait of Odile, who reveals how she and library staffers tried to save the ALP by defying the Nazis—and suffered the consequences. When the war bride and the teenager meet in Montana, their mutual love of books unites them. Narrator Esther Wane deftly handles the third-person chapters."

I was totally enraptured by this wonderful story of inter generational relationships, of understanding of the human condition, of love, acceptance, of meanness of spirit, of rage, betrayal and loss of liberty, family and friendship. I will listen to this book again.

Amazing

I loved reading the historical account and the stories of the various characters whose lives were intertwined with the library. However, the Montana, USA angle was unnecessary and did not add to the storyline.

A good-ish book

The impulsiveness of youth and words spoken without thought can have consequences that last a life time. Can an older French woman who lived through Nazi occupation of Paris impress that upon a young girl in the US years later.

Enjoyable read

I always enjoy a compelling story that teaches me a part of history that I was unaware of. I loved the contrast between Odile and Lily and how they found each other when they needed each other the most.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this story and feel that I would also enjoy reading it. Well written, an excellent story. Easy to follow as it moved backwards and forwards between generations and their connections. Highly recommended.

I loved the relationship between Lily a young girl and her neighbour Odile.
Odile not only taught the young girl French but major thoughts and actions in life. Odile had been a bright young daughter in Paris who worked at the libary when the war started. She made several understandable life mistakes which due the war had major consequences which she regretted.

Very good

I would recommend it to others.
