In the summer of 1939, an attack is already being prepared on Europe. At this difficult time, Grace Bennett arrives in London, which she has dreamed of all her life… But instead of bright city streets, she is greeted by tightly drawn window curtains – the city is preparing for war. This is not how Grace imagined city life. And she certainly did not expect that she would have to work in a dusty and old bookstore in the heart of London. And who needs books now! But during the night raids, under the sounds of explosions, Grace realizes the real power of the word, which is able to unite people even in the darkest times.
