London is being bombed, and we meet three women with troubles of their own who want to save the library and its beloved books.

Juliet is in charge of the library.

Katie works in the library and has a secret.

Sophie is a refugee employed as a housekeeper in the home of an awful man, finds solace in the library, and is trying to find out information about her family left behind.

Books are a comfort for all three women, and they make books the comfort of those who are sheltering during the bombings by moving the books from the bombed Bethnal Green Library to the Underground.

What a wonderful way to use the Undergrounds - this is based on a true event.

THE UNDERGROUND LIBRARY is another lovely, heartwarming read by Ms. Ryan as we follow the three women and see that books are the saving grace for many during these dark times.

The book also focused more on the library and its importance to keep up morale and friendships instead of the war.

You will love the characters and will miss them when the book ends.

They all helped and supported each other and were characters you would have loved to be with. 5/5

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own
