| Summary: | Was she incredibly brave or incredibly stupid? Neither. Just a bookshop girl doing what she could against her country's oppressors. The banned books club was only the beginning; a place for the women of Prague to come together and share the tales the Germans wanted to silence. For bookshop owner, Jana, doing the right thing was never a question. So when opportunity comes to help the resistance, she offers herself - and her bookshop. Using her window displays as covert signals and hiding secret codes in book marks, she'll do all in her power to help. But the arrival of two people in her bookshop will change everything: a young Jewish boy with nowhere else to turn, and a fascist police captain Jana can't read at all. In a time where secrets are currency and stories can be fatal, will she know who to trust? |
