‘The Booklover’s Library’: For Bibliophiles and History Buffs

This new historical fiction offers an insight into a British mother’s experience during World War II.

"The Booklover's Library" by Madeline Martin.

Historical fiction can be considered “history lite”—a nice in-between for those who love history and enjoy a well-told story. 

Historical fiction is one of the top-selling genres on Amazon Kindle. With more than 250,000 titles listed so far and more coming, it may be hard to weed out what’s not worth reading. But if you are a book lover, a World War II enthusiast (specifically on the Battle of Britain), or someone who loves stories about people coming together to overcome adversity, “The Booklover’s Library” may be the book for you.

The Story

It’s 1939. England is on the brink of war with Germany. Gas masks had already been distributed to its citizens, and tension can be sensed among the people as they wait for the dreaded news on their wireless. When Germany invades Poland, Britain evacuates the children to the countryside. The rest of London braces for air raids and bombings.
