À propos de cet audio
Inspired by true events, The Wartime Book Club is an unforgettable story of everyday bravery and resistance, full of romance, drama, and camaraderie and a tribute to the joy of reading and the power of books in our darkest hour.
The Isle of Jersey was once a warm and neighborly community, but in 1943, German soldiers patrol the cobbled streets, imposing a harsh rule.
Nazis have ordered Grace La Mottée, the island's only librarian, to destroy books that threaten the new regime. Instead, she hides the stories away in secret. Along with her headstrong best friend, she wants to fight back. So she forms the Wartime Book Club: a lifeline, offering fearful islanders the joy and escapism of reading.
But as the occupation drags on, the women's quiet acts of bravery become more perilous–and more important–than ever before. And when tensions turn to violence, they are forced to face the true, terrible cost of resistance...
Based on astonishing real events, The Wartime Book Club is a love letter to the power of books in the darkest of times–as well as a moving work that brings to life the remarkable, untold story of an island at war.

Norway, 1940. Liv has lived a quiet life on her family farm, dreaming of a happy life after the war is finally over.

England, 1968. Agnes, although made orphan from the war, has grown up happy in the quiet wealth of the English countryside, raised by her adoring grandfather to be a perfect lady.
