A review by kmontcrieff
The Librarian of Burned Books by Brianna Labuskes
5.0
"History is built on moments that feel insignificant. And so in every moment you must ask yourself: Do you want to be the ones handing out the gasoline cans? Or the ones trying to put out the fire?"
This book was stunning. From cover to cover, the story had me enraptured. Set in three different periods of time all within WW2, we meet three women whose paths intersect with one another over books, censorship, and injustice. This is a historical fiction book, but it's so much more than that. It's an ode to book lovers, to the queer community, and quite frankly towards anyone who has felt silenced by others.
