Emmy Clarke is a librarian not a soldier, but that doesn’t stop the Library of Congress from sending her overseas to Germany to help the Monuments Men retrieve and catalog precious literature that was plundered by the Nazis . . . 

A powerful story of love, forgiveness, and courage that brings light to even the darkest postwar day, The Lost Book of Bonn is a literary-themed historical novel ideal for fans of Kate Quinn's The Rose Code and/or Labuskes' previous novel The Librarian of Burned Books. 

“As Labuskes weaves perspectives together, she not only highlights the pain of censorship, suppression, and dehumanization but also issues a stark reminder that history repeats itself." -- Booklist
