About This Novel
In the late 1930s, Odile, a girl who lived in a middle-class family in Paris and loved reading, applied for a job as a librarian at the América Library in Paris with her love for books. Although she has real troubles from life and growing up, she also gains friendship and love. After the Nazis occupied Paris, Odile and her colleagues who were both teachers and friends devoted themselves to maintaining the operation of the library, just to provide the last spiritual refuge for the Paris people. However, the subsequent changes caused Odell's life to fall apart, and she had to leave her hometown... In the 1980s, in Floyd, a small town in Montana, the United States, the girl Lily faced the troubles of adolescence: the death of her mother made her suddenly face the separation of life and death. , Her father's remarriage left her at a loss for new family relationships, and the social pressure of her peers turned the campus into a Shura field... One afternoon, Lily, a girl trapped in a complicated and mediocre life, accidentally broke into the home of Odell, who lived alone, and accidentally prevented a suicide. Since then, the life trajectories of two women with different cultural backgrounds have been intertwined, creating a history of spiritual growth spanning half a century.
