Loved this audio book! Love the backdrop of facts during WW II. I had no idea there was such a library in Paris. The book has spurred me to look more into the library and it's characters. I almost abandoned this book as it was slow to develop characters and I found the audiobook accents hard to follow sometimes. Hang with this book! Really liked the author's notes at the end giving more info about the library and the real librarians from WW II. Thank you for featuring these unsung heros!!!

Loved this story. It was finished in a few days and I was sad it was over. I always thought what I would of done, living in occupied France. More important, what am I doing today with life events. Touched home for me because I lived in Montana and visited Paris. Disappointed though that I did not know about the American Library, now I need to go back.

Thank you for a wonderful book. As a teacher at the International School of Paris in the 1990's, I loved the ALP. I could do research there that I used in my history classes.
Thank you, Janet Charles, for a great book.

Hi,
Is Froid, MT the historical town of residence for Odile? If not, how did you come to choose that small town in Montana?
