April is here and it’s time for a book review! Well, it’s an ARC book review.
Title: The Wartime Book Club
Author: Kate Thompson
Genre: Historical fiction (though based on true events)
Synopsis (from Goodreads):
From enchanting cliff tops and white sandy bays to the pretty cobbled streets of St Helier, Jersey is known as the land of milk and honey. But for best friends Bea Rose, the local postwoman, and Grace Le Motte, who works in the island’s only library, it becomes the frontline to everyday resistance when their beloved island is occupied by German forces in 1940.
Inspired by astonishing true events, THE WARTIME BOOK CLUB is an unforgettable story of everyday bravery and resistance, full of romance, drama, and camaraderie and a tribute to the joy of reading and the power of books in our darkest hour.

What Do I Think About The Book?
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. All of the opinions are my own. Thank you Forever and NetGalley!
The book is interesting. It is slow for me at first, but it started to get more interesting in the middle of the book. Set in the island of Jersey during WWII under the occupation of Nazi Germany. Some of the characters are good. Grace is a librarian (I think of working at the library would be nice) and Bea is a post office worker. The downside is that there are some parts of the story that make me sad (tears). Overall, I like this book. All about survival, friendship, companionship, tragedy, and of course… book club. I would say that Kate Thompson did a great job on researching the historical events and people for this book.
Rating: 4 stars
