A well written account of a lesser known WWII story. Could have taken more care with the use of portuguese expressions. Calling someone "Dono" was never a proper greeting and sounds really creepy. The correct form is Dom if he belongs to an aristocratic family and Senhor if not. Senhorinha is only used in Brazil, in Portugal it is simply Senhorita.
Despite these annoying issues that would only concern Portuguese readers, I did enjoy the book and the plot. The characters are interesting and mostly likable. I especially enjoyed the chapters in Casablanca.

I really enjoyed the World War 2 elements to this book and how it worked in the story being told. It had that historical fiction element that I really enjoyed a lot. I enjoyed the idea of two librarians and that it was suspenseful and still have its romance going on. I thought Suzanne Nelson’s writing was perfect for the story and glad I got to read this.
