Title: Good Reading - Win a copy of “The Wartime Book Club” by Kate Thompson Post by: culturebird on Friday 23 February 2024, 01:17:20 am The Wartime Book Club by Kate Thompson.
A gripping and heartwarming novel inspired by the true events of the women who joined the resistance in Jersey during the German occupation in WW2. Jersey, 1943. Once a warm and neighbourly community, now German soldiers patrol the cobbled streets, imposing a harsh rule on the people of the island. Grace La Mottee, the island’s only librarian, is ordered to destroy books which threaten the new regime. Instead, she hides the stories away in secret. Along with her headstrong best friend, postwoman Bea Rose, she wants to fight back. So she forms the wartime book club: a lifeline, offering fearful islanders the joy and escapism of reading. But as the occupation drags on, the women’s quiet acts of bravery become more perilous – and more important – than ever before. And, when tensions turn to violence, they are forced to face the true, terrible cost of resistance… To enter, tell us the name of Grace La Mottee's best friend?
