I found The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles, an historical fiction novel from the late 1930’s, a page-turner full of interesting and dynamic characters. Odile, the protagonist, is hired as a librarian at the American Library in Paris. As a book lover, she begins her dream job during this tumultuous time in European history. Throughout the novel, she reminds the reader of her favorite books, often quoting from them. She frequently refers to one of my favorites and a popular assigned high school reading, Their Eyes Were Watching God. Charles’ novel is based on true World War II accounts of the librarians at the American Library and how these men and women risked their lives to bring literature to those who were no longer welcome at the Library.
