The Banned Books Of Berlin

Another unforgettable story from the bestselling author of The Forgotten Bookshop in Paris and The Royal Librarian.

Berlin, 1933. The night skies blaze with huge bonfires of banned books. The Nazi party is swelling in number, and Berlin is no longer a safe place for young Freya. Horrified, she can only watch as her beloved city falls to fascism, and the usually law-abiding Freya is forced to make a choice: continue being a bystander, or risk everything to save the lives of others.

New York, present day. Maddie returns home to her family, hoping to reset from the demands of her work. But she’s stunned to discover a pre-war German diary among her Grandpa’s things. As she unravels its secrets, Maddie uncovers a story that will take her beyond America, and into the extraordinary life of Freya, whose courage and choices changed people’s lives across the globe.
