"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians."--Monty Python

PATRON PICKS--THE NIGHTINGALE

The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France.  Celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women.  (from Amazon) 

Noel says:  Strong women, sympathetic characterization of complex and powerful emotions in unspeakable conditions in WWII occupied France.
