Description
The Little Wartime Library is a heart-wrenching novel based on true events. In 1944, Clara Button created a secret underground library in East London, providing shelter and solace to those affected by the war. The library, built over the tracks in a disused tube station, became a thriving community with thousands of bunk beds, a nursery, a café, and a theatre.
Clara and her friend Ruby Munroe worked tirelessly to keep the library running, ensuring it remained a beacon of hope in the face of adversity. But as the war dragged on, the women's determination was tested, and the very people they were trying to protect were put in grave danger. This gripping pacey read is a powerful reminder of one of the greatest resistance stories of the war.
