In turbulent 1930s Madrid, provincial Tina dreams of becoming a librarian. Along with her friend Veva, she finds herself immersed in the world of cabarets, feminist clubs, and seances, but far more than the glamorous life of the capital, she finds herself drawn to the Invisible Library—a secret society that once saved books threatened by censorship. Tina has no doubt that saving books is her calling. Working as a librarian in Madrid under siege by Franco's forces, Tina realizes that it's not just banned books that need saving, but all books, for the war is being waged on the book front as well—history is being rewritten, facts are being replaced by fiction, and ideology is displacing humanity. But even in the epicenter of a devastating war, life goes on, and Tina finds love, yet nothing will stop her from continuing to protect books, not only from fires and bombs, but also from ignorance and barbarism. A great novel about the love of books, about how to maintain human dignity even in an atmosphere of fear and total persecution.
