Meeting through real-life Secret Society of Librarians in London, two women form a close bond. When WW2 hits, they take their libraries underground, creating a roaming underground library. But when one of them is taken to Poland and a concentration camp, they think there is no chance of ever being reunited again. This is an inspirational, true and compelling story about friendship, everyday bravery and the power of books, with a dual narrative set between London and Poland in the 1940s"--  |c Provided by publisher.
