Told through dual storylines, this novel of World War II will tug at reader's heartstrings. It's tragic and tearful and yet ultimately filled with so much hope. Ava is an American Librarian sent overseas to Lisbon to help gather foreign publications and catalog them for the war effort. Helene is is a Frenchwoman who is determined to help the resistance in any way that she can. Her husband has been taken by the Nazis and she is determined to do what she can for her people. The two women find themselves in different countries but their enemy is the same. They both know that words have power and though they are merely women they can help wield that power to do good. Inspiring and heartbreaking.
