Based on the true story of Jessie Carson, an American librarian who played a critical role in the development of libraries in France, this novel was well researched and inspiring. I really enjoy the historical fiction stories that help me to learn about significant people and events I wasn't familiar with before. It kind of offers me a jumping off place to go learn more about these remarkable individuals and their lives. The information at the end of the novel was the perfect treat for me to learn more.
I received this book courtesy of the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
