A young woman defiantly sells banned books as a means of resistance during World War II.
The stories of two women weave themselves together, joined by a third story, a story of romance. We witness Nazi brutality and the generous of spirit in the young woman who prescribes literature form her Book Dispensary. There is a strong sense of time and place in this work. All of the characters are well-drawn.
Siobhan Curham’s writing is superb in The Paris Network, a gripping World War II novel.
