About this listen
Read by Fenella Woolgar, known for her role as Sister Hilda in BBC series Call the Midwife.
Three women united by their love of books. One library that has the power to change lives, even in wartime . . .
When Juliet begins work ats Bethnal Green Library, she discovers it is far from the bustling hub she was expecting. But, in the face of German Blitz attacks, she’s intent on making it a place where everyone feels safe and welcome.
Katie is thrilled to be working at the library, too. But, after the death of her sweetheart on the front line, she’s in desperate need of support.
Sofie, a Jewish refugee, escapes to the library every chance she gets. Though she finds comfort and friendship there, her position in London remains vulnerable.
When bombs wreck the library, the books are relocated to an underground station. As the war rages, can the women use their fighting spirit to overcome their own troubles and keep the library open to all?
Inspired by the true story of Bethnal Green Library.
