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 Underground Library by Jennifer Ryan.

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

My Summary:

The Underground Library is told from three perspectives and is a “saving the books” story as bombs rain down on London during the Blitz. When bombs destroy the library, it forces the three women to salvage what they can and move stacks to the local underground station. As the city’s residents take shelter, the books keep up their spirits.

Women’s fiction in a historical context…
