Welcome to Litsy!

A view of the Bosnian-Serbian conflict told through the eyes of Muslim woman who suffered unspeakable horrors, became a freedom fighter, and ultimately escaped to Minnesota. Told in alternate timeline chapters, the “quiet librarian” sets out to solve the murder of a dear Bosnian friend.

If you‘ve enjoyed Sepetys‘s books, you‘ll really enjoy this, but it‘s definitely written for grownups.

The Quiet Librarian is a propulsive and intriguing read. It is also highly unrealistic. A librarian has enough funds to own farmland and drop a good chunk of change on surveillance and weaponry at the drop of a hat, all while she is on apparently unlimited leave from her job. Eskens does write fiction. That said, it was a book that was difficult to put down. Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for an advance digital copy.
