This month’s Library Book Club pick is 

THE ROOM ON RUE AMELIE BY KRISTIN Harmel

From Goodreads:

For fans of Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale and Martha Hall Kelly’s Lilac Girls, this powerful novel of fate, resistance, and family—by the international bestselling author of The Sweetness of Forgetting and When We Meet Again—tells the tale of an American woman, a British RAF pilot, and a young Jewish teenager whose lives intersect in occupied Paris during the tumultuous days of World War II.

When newlywed Ruby Henderson Benoit arrives in Paris in 1939 with her French husband Marcel, she imagines strolling arm in arm along the grand boulevards, awash in the golden afternoon light. But war is looming on the horizon, and as France falls to the Nazis, her marriage begins to splinter, too.

Interested? The next meeting will be held at the Swanton Library on March 16th at 5pm. A discussion guide can be found HERE.

The Library Book Club is organized by Cheryl Messier and is open to any who are interested. For more information about the Book Club and past picks click HERE.
