For fans of The Rose Code and The Paris Library, The Librarian of Burned Books is a captivating WWII-era novel about the intertwined fates of three women who believe in the power of books to triumph over the very darkest moments of war.

Berlin 1933. Following the success of her debut novel, American writer Althea James receives an invitation from Joseph Goebbels himself to participate in a culture exchange program in Germany. For a girl from a small town in Maine, 1933 Berlin seems to be sparklingly cosmopolitan, blossoming in the midst of a great change with the charismatic new chancellor at the helm. Then Althea meets a beautiful woman who promises to show her the real Berlin, and soon she's drawn into a secret group of resisters who make her question everything she knows about her hosts--and herself.

Paris 1936. She may have escaped Berlin for Paris, but Hannah Brecht discovers the City of Light is no refuge from the anti-Semitism and Nazi sympathizers she thought she left behind. Heartbroken and tormented by the role she played in the betrayal that destroyed her family, Hannah throws herself into her work at the German Library of Burned Books. Through the quiet power of books, she believes she can help counter the tide of fascism she sees rising across Europe and atone for her mistakes. But when a dear friend in the WWII resistance decides actions will speak louder than words, Hannah must decide what stories she is willing to live--or die--for.

New York 1944. Since her husband Edward was killed fighting the Nazis, Vivian Childs has been waging her own war: preventing a powerful senator's attempts to censor the Armed Service Editions, portable paperbacks that are shipped by the millions to soldiers overseas. In her battle against censorship, Viv knows just how much they mean to the men through the letters she receives--including the last one she got from Edward. She also knows the only way to win this fight is to counter the senator's propaganda with a story of her own--at the heart of which lies the reclusive and mysterious woman tending the American Library of Nazi-Banned Books in Brooklyn.

As these multiple timelines converge and Viv unknowingly brings her fight crashing into the secrets of the recent past, the fates of these three women will change all of them forever.

Inspired by the true story of the Council of Books in Wartime--the WWII organization founded by booksellers, publishers, librarians, and authors to use books as "weapons in the war of ideas"--The Librarian of Burned Books is an unforgettable work of historical fiction, a haunting love story, and a testament to the beauty, power, and goodness of the written word.

This sheepskin rug is amazing! One of my favorite purchases!
Color: Cream Brown, Size: Round 48''
I loved the first one so much I came back and bought a larger one. The texture and the thickness are pure luxury. Well worth the money and there is no smell.

Very thick
Color: Ivory White, Size: Round 48'', Color: Ivory White, Size: Round 48''
I was pleasantly surprised that it was as thick and fluffy as it was for the price. I have another that I got that says it’s high pile and isn’t as nice as this one that says medium pile. Excellent for the price!

Not as pictured
Color: Ivory White, Size: Round 48''
The rug isn’t as pretty in person… choppy looking and noticeable. Different fur lengths and not cozy soft. I have other lamb skin rugs but this one doesn’t measure up. Sent it back…

Great valur
Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Gray Tipped
Soft and comfortable. Quality leather nsckrd. Genuine sheepskin. No off odors. I'm skinny and not on tailbone. Hoping this helps. The grey tipped is more of a bluish gray. Pretty but not s true gray.

On the fence? This is the sheepskin to get!
Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Wolf Tipped
I've been reading all the reviews for sheepskins on AMZ and felt this company was the one to go for and WOW did they deliver! The sheepskin came well wrapped but not vacuum packed and is even prettier in person than the pictures. It is super soft, fluffy and dense and mine measured 26" x 40". I absolutely love the wolf tipped colors: ivory, dark grey and a slight brownish hue. There is a slight odor but I don't find it offensive. It stayed put on my leather couch and sitting on it during a Netflix movie was heavenly warm and comfortable. I did not observe any shedding. Will definitely buy another wolf tipped one, once it becomes available as it is worth the money.
