A review by gretchenlouise
The Librarian of Saint-Malo by Mario Escobar

1.0

Initially, I kept reading this book because I thought it had to get better. But I became only more confused by the apparently epistolary format and less enthused about the main character. I finished the book only to see if it redeemed itself, but no, the disjointed love triangle ended in nothing but tragedy.

There were a few lines I highlighted. A few epic attempts to save the books of Saint-Malo from the Nazis. But overall, the book was incredibly confusing and depressing.

Disclosure: I received a digital review copy of this book from NetGalley.
