Every page is shared in secret... and a single book could cost a life.
France, 1941. Margot locks her bookshop door and slips into the cellar, where a circle of brave women gather by candlelight to read the books the Germans are burning. They are risking everything to share forbidden stories and fight back. But one seat is empty... Esther is missing, and as a Jewish woman, she is in terrible danger. Whatever happens, Margot has promised to take care of Esther's baby, darling Isabelle...
Present day. Lucy gasps as she descends into the cellar beneath the bookshop she has inherited from her grandmother. Wooden chairs are arranged in a circle, as if the resistance book club members have just vanished. A candle sits on a saucer; a book lies open.
Still grieving her grandmother, Lucy was left a letter about the wartime book club hinting at a devastating secret. And one book is wrapped in yellowed newspaper, addressed in faded ink to a woman named Esther. Does it contain a clue about the fate of the tiny baby hidden by the book club? What really happened on that dark night when one of its members was taken by the Nazis?
And as she uncovers the bookshop's past, will the truth force Lucy to rethink everything she thought she knew about her own family?
The Resistance Book Club is a totally unputdownable and utterly heartbreaking story of incredible bravery in the darkest of times, and devastating family secrets that echo across generations. Fans of Evie Woods, Fiona Valpy, The Nightingale and The Alice Network will be utterly gripped.
