355 pages ; 24 cm "Ava thought her job as a librarian at the Library of Congress would mean a quiet, routine existence. But an unexpected offer from the US military has brought her to Lisbon with a new mission: posing as a librarian while working undercover as a spy gathering intelligence. Meanwhile, in occupied France, Elaine has begun an apprenticeship at a printing press run by members of the Resistance. It's a job usually reserved for men, but in the war, those rules have been forgotten. Yet she knows that the Nazis are searching for the press and its printer in order to silence them. As the battle in Europe rages, Ava and Elaine find themselves connecting through coded messages and discovering hope in the face of war"--Dust jacket flap Madeline Martin Text in English Women librarians Fiction Women spies Fiction World War, 1939-1945 Women Fiction World War, 1939-1945 Underground movements France Fiction Librarians Fiction World War, 1939-1945 Fiction Lisbon (Portugal) Fiction PS3613.A78326 L53 2022 813/.6 9781335427489 1335427481 220209 20221012132803.0 1302899376
