About this listen
Inspired by true events, The Wartime Book Club is an unforgettable story of everyday bravery and resistance, full of romance, drama, and camaraderie and a tribute to the joy of reading and the power of books in our darkest hour.
The Isle of Jersey was once a warm and neighborly community, but in 1943, German soldiers patrol the cobbled streets, imposing a harsh rule.
Nazis have ordered Grace La Mottée, the island's only librarian, to destroy books that threaten the new regime. Instead, she hides the stories away in secret. Along with her headstrong best friend, she wants to fight back. So she forms the Wartime Book Club: a lifeline, offering fearful islanders the joy and escapism of reading.
But as the occupation drags on, the women's quiet acts of bravery become more perilous–and more important–than ever before. And when tensions turn to violence, they are forced to face the true, terrible cost of resistance...
Based on astonishing real events, The Wartime Book Club is a love letter to the power of books in the darkest of times–as well as a moving work that brings to life the remarkable, untold story of an island at war.

Story
Clara Button is no ordinary librarian. While war ravages the city above her, Clara has risked everything she holds dear to turn the Bethnal Green tube station into the country’s only underground library. Down here, a secret community thrives with thousands of bunk beds, a nursery, a café, and a theater—offering shelter, solace, and escape from the bombs that fall upon their city. Along with her glamorous best friend and assistant Ruby Munroe, Clara ensures the library is the beating heart of life underground. As the war drags on, the women's determination is tested to the limits.

Story
A tenant farmer’s son had no business daring to dream of a future with an earl’s daughter, but that couldn’t keep Amos Darby from his secret friendship with Charlotte Terrington…until the reality of the Great War sobered youthful dreams. Now decades later, he bears the brutal scars of battles fought in the trenches and their futures that were stolen away. His return home doesn’t come with tender reunions, but with the hollow fulfillment of opening a bookshop on his own and retreating as a recluse within its walls.

Imogen Church’s over-the-top, slow narration takes away from the story. I sped her up to 1.3 and was able to get through. I love the thorough research and love for England that this author puts into her books.

Great story
This was a very informative and captivating story about a part of the war that I was really not familiar with. Listen to the postscripts at the end of the story because you will learn a lot about what is true in the story (a lot). The narrator was just a little “over done” as far as intonation and emphasis, but I got used to it.

It's not a sequel to The Little Wartime Library.
First, I have to say that I absolutely loved The Little Wartime Library (also by Kate Thompson) and have recommended it to several people. It's a wonderful book. I was so looking forward to The Wartime Book Club because of how much enjoyed Ms. Thompson's first novel. However, I didn't love this one as much. The premise of the story is good and very solid. (I hadn't really heard that much about the Nazi occupation of the Chanel Islands.) However, this book is so full of anger and angst, it was hard to get through. (SO many F-bombs, too! That's lazy writing in my opinion.)
While the characters' fear and anger is justified, I think Imogen Church's performance was so overly exaggerated and over-the-top dramatic, it made you want to slap the characters just to shut them up. (She also had a funky lisp which was distracting.) The performance actually detracted from the poignancy of the story, which is a shame, because as I already mentioned, the story's premise was very good and it was a moment in history that should be explored, retold and cherished.
The book follows the lives of two best friends during the Nazi occupation of Jersey and is inspired by true accounts of real people who lived on the island during those horrible years. If you can overlook the language, I would suggest reading this book rather than listening to it...
