If you love libraries and the Dewey decimal system, you'll love this book that chronicles the American Library in Paris during the German occupation - WWII 1939-1945 and a young girl in a small town in Montana, 1983.  Young, ambitious, Odile Souchet has it all: Paul, her handsome police officer beau; Margaret, her best friend from England; her adored twin brother Remy; and a dream job at the American Library in Paris, working alongside the library's legendary director, Dorothy Reeder.  Also we meet Lily, a curious teen mesmerized by her neighbor, a widow the town calls the war bride.  

"...why books? Because no other thing possesses that mystical faculty to make people see with other people's eyes. The library is a bridge of books between cultures."
