Knihkupkyně z Dachau – Ryan Shari J. (2023)

Germany, 1940. "Can't I say goodbye?" I cry, pressing my hands to my mouth as my heart races. My eyes are misty with tears as the Nazis stare at me, dragging away my beloved Hans.

For months, they live by candlelight, smuggling food and communicating in whispers. But nothing can stop the soldiers... America, 2018. Grace opens a mustard-yellow envelope and her world falls apart. She has inherited a bookstore in the small town of Dachau from her grandmother, of whose existence she had no idea.
