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

3.0

I’m struggling to even understand my thoughts on this book. The storyline had so much potential but fell flat at times. The villain keeps coming back like a cough you can’t shake after a cold. Another villain… that turns out not to be a villain… falls for the main character. But it just feels wrong. The best part was how the story was told. It was done through letters. The book, literally, tells the story of the librarian’s life during the German occupation of Saint-Malo through her own eyes.
