WWll Book Club

The Blackout Book Club by Dana Amy Lynn Green is a stand-alone WWll novel; set in a small fictional town in Maine. After her brother goes off to war, Avis Montgomery takes over his job at the local library. Starting a book club seemed like a very good idea at the time. What started as a spur of the moment decision becomes a life-altering one. The different people who join the club find that they have more in common than they would have guessed. The struggles of everyday life are made bearable by the friendships made. What a lovely story! There was danger, romance, a plot twist and of course; Books! I really enjoyed this one! I received this book from the publisher for my honest review.
