An emotional WWII historical novel of love and courage, based on true events.
Amsterdam, 1940. Sophie Weinstein is a gifted librarian with a quiet life, a sharp mind, and a dangerous secret: she has become one of the Dutch resistance's most skilled document forgers. Every false identity card she creates is a life saved — and a death sentence if she's caught.
When a young orphan named Hanna is left on the library doorstep, Sophie's mission becomes personal. As the Nazi occupation tightens its grip on the city, she is drawn deeper into a desperate network smuggling Jewish orphans to safety. The canals she once loved become escape routes. The library that was her sanctuary becomes a hiding place. And the man she trusts with her life may be hiding secrets of his own.
Seventy years later, a young woman in present-day Amsterdam uncovers a box of wartime documents — and with them, a family history that has been deliberately concealed.
Based on the remarkable true story of document forgers in the Dutch resistance, The Librarian of Amsterdam is a powerful exploration of resistance, identity, and intergenerational trauma that asks: what would you risk to save a stranger's child?
Book 2 in the Art of Resistance series. Each novel can be read as a standalone.
