Library in Paris. Charles J. S.

Paris, 1939. Odil Lyu seemed to have reached the limit of her dreams: she has a loved one, a faithful girlfriend, an adored brother and a wonderful job in an American library.

But the occupation of Paris violates the usual way of life, and the girl loses almost everything that is expensive for her. Together with her biblio-cooker colleagues, she participates in resistance, using the best weapon that they have: books. But ahead of her will be the poison of betrayal and the bitterness of loss.

Montana, 1983. Odil leads a closed life in a small town. Thirteen -year -old Lily is terribly interested in a lone elderly neighbor. When they become friends, Odil sees herself in Lily: the same love for the language, the same desires, the same deadly jealousy.
