Jana loved her bookshop. It brought her closer to her mother that died a few years ago. It meant everything to her.
Everything came crashing down when the Germans invaded Prague. The life she knew changed and not for the good.
I was amazed by the determination and strength of Jana and of her neighbors. They did what they could to hold on to what was dear to them.
It's important to know what really happened during this horrendous period of time. And it's important to not forget.
I received this book from Boldwood Books to review.

The Last Bookshop in Prague
Was she incredibly brave or incredibly stupid? Neither. Just a bookshop girl doing what she could against her country’s oppressors.
The banned books club was only the beginning; a place for the women of Prague to come together and share the tales the Germans wanted to silence.
For bookshop owner, Jana, doing the right thing was never a question. So when opportunity comes to help the resistance, she offers herself – and her bookshop. Using her window displays as covert signals and hiding secret codes in book marks, she’ll do all in her power to help.
But the arrival of two people in her bookshop will change everything: a young Jewish boy with nowhere else to turn, and a fascist police captain Jana can’t read at all. In a time where secrets are currency and stories can be fatal, will she know who to trust?
A heart-wrenching and powerful story of courage, tenacity and love. Fans of Suzanne Goldring, Mandy Robotham and Debbie Rix will devour this unforgettable novel.
