Review of The London Book Shop Affair by Louise Fein

 

Ad-Pr


Today is my stop on the Random Things blog tour for The London Book Shop Affair by Louise Fein.


It’s London at the start of the swinging sixties and Celia Duchesne longs for a career of her own. She spends her days working in an antiquarian bookshop on the Strand, but plans to enrol at a secretarial college to gain qualifications.


However, when a chance meeting with a handsome American visitor to ship occurs she believes she may have a way to a new start. What she doesn’t realise is that she will be drawn into the dangerous world of espionage.


At the same time we learn about Anya twenty years earlier in 1943 who was dropped behind enemy lines in occupied France during the Second World War.


How are the two women connected and how far would both of them go to protect secrets.


I really enjoyed this book and would recommend for fans of historical fiction. World War Two fiction is one of my favourite genres, but it was also fascinating to learn more about the Cold War.
