I just don't remember if she talks about any non-fiction resources. You can check her website (link in the fine print at the bottom of my review) because she has a section of photos, newspaper articles, and the like about the real library.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-39519613043632056892021-02-10T01:54:24.057-07:002021-02-10T01:54:24.057-07:00I'm beginning to think that we share more than...I'm beginning to think that we share more than a "bit" of reading DNA, Kate!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-19925685358747810792021-02-10T01:53:48.906-07:002021-02-10T01:53:48.906-07:00It does, Gretchen.It does, Gretchen.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-70415967219357440602021-02-10T01:53:29.732-07:002021-02-10T01:53:29.732-07:00I hope you enjoy it, Jenclair!I hope you enjoy it, Jenclair!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-14809150672081686312021-02-10T01:53:00.261-07:002021-02-10T01:53:00.261-07:00Now you're all set for The Bombay Prince!Now you're all set for <i>The Bombay Prince</i>!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-32303606985476555522021-02-10T01:52:17.528-07:002021-02-10T01:52:17.528-07:00The rest of it is good, Margot.The rest of it is good, Margot.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-89009222980684823322021-02-09T21:15:32.382-07:002021-02-09T21:15:32.382-07:00I had a similar reaction to this one - loved the l...I had a similar reaction to this one - loved the library, learning about the people involved and how they handled the vagaries of the war, but was not captured by the jealousy theme, and thought that the Montana storyline wasn't necessary.Kate L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17044129739440995201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-44853702905665987132021-02-09T18:42:56.270-07:002021-02-09T18:42:56.270-07:00This one looks really good.

I plan on reading it. I've been on my library's waitlist a month or so, long wait, looks popular. I noticed the author's website has lots of interesting background on the characters, a timeline of WWII events and how the correspond to Paris Library events. <br />Just goes to show you the power of words. <br />Ev <br />PS - Soon finished with Satapur Moonstone, your Bombay Prince review nudged me to go back and read this one.
