This is the first time I have read a book by this author. I will admit that I enjoyed it very much, and I look forward to more in the future. I love historical based novels, so this was my cup of tea. The story line revolved around a lesser known aspects of WWII. The characters were interesting and well written. The plot was well thought out. The only down side was the use of foreign language, but it did make it a more authentic story. I would recommend this book to other for reading. Thank you Net Galley ARC!

A well written account of a lesser known WWII story. Could have taken more care with the use of portuguese expressions. Calling someone "Dono" was never a proper greeting and sounds really creepy. The correct form is Dom if he belongs to an aristocratic family and Senhor if not. Senhorinha is only used in Brazil, in Portugal it is simply Senhorita.
Despite these annoying issues that would only concern Portuguese readers, I did enjoy the book and the plot. The characters are interesting and mostly likable. I especially enjoyed the chapters in Casablanca.

I really enjoyed the World War 2 elements to this book and how it worked in the story being told. It had that historical fiction element that I really enjoyed a lot. I enjoyed the idea of two librarians and that it was suspenseful and still have its romance going on. I thought Suzanne Nelson’s writing was perfect for the story and glad I got to read this.
