A love of books, a fight against injustice and a yearning to help end the war led three women in three cities to band together and take on book banning. In New York Viv has just become a war widow and is fighting political roadblocks to save the program she has worked on tirelessly. She is fighting censorship of books that are sent to servicemen in Europe as a way of escaping the horrors of war. In Paris Hannah runs a bookshop that houses banned books that have been burned in Germany for being against new German principles. In Berlin Althea came from the U.S. at the beginning of the war enamored with the city and one of the new Chancellor Hitler's officers in particular. Soon enough her eyes are opened to the atrocities and injustice and her heart opened up to Hannah. They fought book censorship both in Europe and in the states. They fought the loss of great literature and against the loss of freedom of religion, love and ideas. On a sad note this is historical fiction that takes place in WWII but you will see many parallels to the censorship issues we are facing today. 4 stars
