"The Little Wartime Library" is a heartwarming and inspiring novel based on a true story of resilience and bravery. Kate Thompson's writing is rich in detail and brings the underground library of East London to life, transporting readers back in time to the midst of World War II. Clara Button and Ruby Munroe are strong, determined women who create a safe haven for those seeking refuge from the bombs. The plot is moving, and the story is filled with moments of hope and triumph amidst adversity. This book is a must-read for fans of historical fiction, especially those who enjoyed "The Paris Library" or "The Last Bookshop in London." I am grateful to NetGalley and Kate Thompson for the opportunity to read this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
