Jersey, 1943, and the German Army has marched onto a tranquil island. Librarian Grace La Motée is ordered to destroy every book that threatens the new regime. She refuses, hides them instead and founds a book club, a lifeline that lets frightened islanders escape the war one chapter at a time. Her quiet defiance grows steadily more dangerous, and her secrets begin to put her own life at risk. Based on astonishing real events, this is a story of ordinary courage, and of the subversive power of a well-chosen paperback.
