Description
The Underground Library is a heartwarming novel about three women who come together to keep their community safe and welcoming during wartime London. When Juliet reports to work at Bethnal Green Library, she finds it's not the bustling hub she expected, but instead a place where everyone feels safe and welcome.
As bombs damage the library, Juliet relocates the stacks to an underground station, where residents shelter nightly. With her position vulnerable due to her asylum status, Sofie must navigate her own troubles while finding comfort in the literary scene at Bethnal Green. Katie, meanwhile, is struggling with personal loss and family strife.
Together, the three women must work together to overcome their challenges and keep the library open to all, a symbol of hope and community in the face of adversity.
