#BookSpotlight: The Air Raid Book Club by Annie Lyons @1AnnieLyons @headlinepg @lararosetamara #TheAirRaidBookClub #AnnieLyons #Ww2 #ComingJuly2023

Good morning everyone and happy Friday! I can’t believe it’s nearly the weekend again. I was lucky enough to receive this fabulous sounding book this week. I absolutely love books set in world war two, especially if I learn something new from them so I can’t wait to read this book. It also reminds me of The Little Wartime Library which is one of my favourite books ever.

Huge thanks to the tagged publisher for sending me this book. Out 11th July 2023.

Book Synopsis:

As the bombs began to fall, the book club kept their hopes alive…

London, 1938. Bookseller Gertie Bingham is facing difficult times, having just lost her beloved husband, Harry, and with a lingering sadness at never having been able to have a child of her own. Struggling to face running the bookshop she and Harry opened together, Gertie is preparing to sell up and move away when she is asked if she would be willing to take in a young Jewish refugee from Germany. Gertie is unsure and when sullen teenager Hedy Fischer arrives, Gertie fears she has nothing left to give the troubled girl.

But when the German bombers come and the lights go out over London, Gertie and Hedy realise that joining forces will make them stronger, and that books have the power to bring young and old together and unite a community in need in its darkest hour…
