From the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Bookshop in London comes a moving new novel inspired by the true history of America’s library spies of World War II.
Ava thought her job as a librarian at the Library of Congress would mean a quiet, routine existence. But an unexpected offer from the US military has brought her to Lisbon with a new mission: posing as a librarian while working undercover as a spy gathering intelligence.
Meanwhile, in occupied France, Elaine has begun an apprenticeship at a printing press run by members of the Resistance. It’s a job usually reserved for men, but in the war, those rules have been forgotten. Yet she knows that the Nazis are searching for the press and its printer in order to silence them.
As the battle in Europe rages, Ava and Elaine find themselves connecting through coded messages and discovering hope in the face of war.
“Uplifting, inspiring and suspenseful, this is one to savor!” –Natasha Lester, New York Times bestselling author of The Riviera House

The Librarian Spy by Madeline Martin is a World War II novel based on the true accounts of librarians who served as spies during the war. Martin hits it out of the park. I was so moved by this book. Danger, intrigue, romance and heartbreak are skillfully woven into an amazing story of survival during World War II. Truly a masterpiece! Martin has outdone herself, breathing life into the streets of Lisbon and Lyon, capturing the heartbeat of its inhabitants during the war. She paints lovely settings and breathes life into each scene. I loved both Ava and Elaine’s stories and their fight against evil.
