Posljednja knjižara u Londonu

Posljednja knjižara u Londonu

Madeline Martin

An irresistible story that reveals the power of the written word and reminds that books can be a refuge in times of severe suffering.

August 1939 Great Britain prepares for war as Hitler's forces sweep across Europe. Grace Bennett had always dreamed of moving to London, but she didn't expect to be greeted in the city with makeshift shelters and blackout curtains on every window. And instead of the coveted job at Harrods, he starts working in a dusty old Primrose Hill bookshop. While the air raids on London are becoming more frequent and the war is becoming more gruesome, Grace discovers a small community of interesting people gathered around the bookshop, and the strength with which she will defeat the greatest darkness of war.
