The first instalment in a BRAND NEW series from bestselling author Patricia McBride
With war looming, it’s a dark chapter for the Library Girls
1940, London
When Cordelia accepts the post of head librarian in Silver Town Library, her mother is more than a little disapproving. The East End has high levels of poverty and illiteracy, and her mother says it’s no place for a woman of her status.
But Cordelia is determined to make a difference in these times of strife, and along with her colleagues, Jane and Mavis, she begins to help the local community.
And maybe even a romance will blossom, giving Cordelia the strength to make it through the chaos and destruction that constantly threatens their livelihood.
Against a background of war, air raids and rationing, it becomes clear the library is more than a building filled with books – it is the beating heart of a community refusing to be torn apart.
a compelling story of friendships and the hardships of war, with excellent sketches of the East End. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend. Rosie Clarke

I was hooked from page one. Rich in historical detail and with characters you feel you know… Highly recommended!’ Lynette Rees
A brilliant read – the sort of book you can immerse yourself in completely … You couldn’t read the story without it reaching your heart, or without wanting to know what will become of these women’ Fran Smith
