Welcome to #ThrowBackThursday where I highlight an older review or post a current review of a backlist title. This week I’m featuring compelling historical fiction, The Wartime Book Club by Kate Thompson.

I’m linking up with Davida @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog for #ThrowbackThursday.

My Summary:

In the difficult years of WWII, many residents of St Helier, Jersey (Channel Islands) turn to books for comfort and distraction. For best friends Grace Le Motte (librarian) and Bea Rose (postal worker), the library becomes a tangible symbol of resistance. The Wartime Book Club is a story of wartime occupation, friendship, endurance, bravery, the power and joy of books, and resistance.
