Bingham Books was a dream they shared together, and without Harry, Gertie wonders if it\u2019s time to take her faithful old lab, Hemingway, and retire to the seaside.- In Germany, Jewish families are making the heart-wrenching decision to send their children away from the growing turmoil. After a nudge from her dear friend Charles, Gertie decides to take in one of these refugees, a headstrong teenage girl named Hedy. Hedy reminds Gertie of herself at the same age, and shows her that she can\u2019t give up just yet. When the Blitz begins and bombs whistle overhead, Gertie and Hedy come up with the idea to start an air raid book club. Together with neighbors and bookstore customers, they hold lively discussions of everything from Winnie the Pooh to Wuthering Heights. But even the best book can only provide a temporary escape, and as the tragic reality of the war hits home, the book club faces unimaginable losses. They will need all the strength of their stories and the bonds they\u2019ve formed to see them through to brighter days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Annie Lyons: The Air Raid Book Club. 2023 Ljudbok (BookBeat, 9 h 30 min) London, 1938: The bookstore just doesn\u2019t feel the same to Gertie Bingham ever since the death of her beloved husband Harry.
