I enjoyed that this took place during WWI and that the main character worked with books/loved books but ultimately it was just okay. It was slow and I felt that listening to it. 2.75 stars.

emotional hopeful sad

5.0

Not a type of book I would normally read but I'm so glad I did. Full of love without being saccharin, sad but not without hope. The appreciation for books and the written word are apparent (which was what sold it to me in the first place) and the cast of characters (primary and secondary) felt so strong. I'm not sure this will be one I ever revisit, but I so thoroughly enjoyed listening to it in the moment.
