The Air Raid Book Club— Annie Lyons

PRELOVED 

Germany, 1938. As fascism takes hold in Europe, Jewish families have to make the heartbreaking decision to send their children to safety outside the country as part of the Kindertransport rescue operation.

Meanwhile, in London, Gertie is tired of running Bingham's Bookstore and is thinking of retiring and selling the business. However, the world has other plans for her. Her life is completely transformed when she takes in a Jewish refugee, Hedy, a fifteen-year-old girl who has been separated from her family.

At first their relationship is tense, but they soon bond over their love of reading. When German bombers hover over the skies of London and all citizens must take refuge in bunkers, Gertie and Hedy create the Air Raid Shelter Book Club. Together they will discover that books have the power to unite the community in the darkest moments of history.
