The Royal Librarian by Daisy Wood

Will Lacey be able to find out the history of her grandmother Sophie's life?

We meet Sophie, Hanna, and their parents in 1938 as Hitler takes control of Austria.

Their father was removed from his position at the library because of his Jewish heritage and was shot during an incident.

Their mother owned a bakery but was taken away because of her resistance.

That left Sophie and Hanna as orphans and with only one thing to do - they had to leave Austria.

Hanna was sent to America and Sophie was able to get employment in London at the Royal library.

We follow both sisters during the war and Lacey in 2021 as she tries to find out about her grandmother.

Historical fiction fans and fans of the Royal Family and Windsor will be thrilled with this book.

THE ROYAL LIBRARIAN is a lovely, enjoyable, heartfelt, well-researched read with a mystery to solve about Sophie along with some surprises.

I was curious about what Sophie was up to and enjoyed reading about Queen Elizabeth and her sister in their youth.  5/5

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book.  All opinions are my own.
