Librarians of Lisbon by Suzanne Nelson ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The history shared in this book was fascinating. The research done was incredible. As someone who reads a lot of WWII historical fiction (and studied WWII History in College!) I learned a lot about Portugal’s not frequently discussed role during the war. As a neutral country, it was fascinating to learn just how pulled they were by both sides of WWII. And that the people seeking safety were also part of both sides. Lots of spying, refugees and undercover activities. I loved that the main characters were librarians in the USA who became undercover spies for the Allies. I loved that they were strong, powerful and incredible women who were helping with the war. They found love, discovered a lot about themselves and most importantly they were able to help with the war efforts. I was truly engaged with all aspects of this story and loved the dual timelines - discovering just how much impact women had during the war. If you are a fan of historical fiction, this was a wonderful and fascinating read. Thank you Netgalley for my advanced reader copy LTKFindsUnder50 LTKGiftGuide LTKMostLoved
