Poignant, subversive, and sure to be a hit with book clubs.” —Sarah Penner, New York Times bestselling author of The Amalfi Curse on The Secret Book Society “In The Secret Book Society, Madeline Martin crafts a beguiling tale of sisterhood and empowerment, set against the enigmatic background of Victorian England.

The novel is a feast for the senses—the sound of air-raid sirens, the taste of rationed butter, the smell of freshly brewed tea.”—Booklist STARRED review on The Booklover’s Library “A quiet little jewel of a war-time novel, focusing not on the vast strokes of politics or battle, but on the struggles of the home-front and the heart. …The Booklover’s Library offers new hope, new friends, and a chance to heal in the middle of war. Madeline Martin always delivers!” –Kate Quinn, bestselling author of The Phoenix Crown on The Booklover’s Library ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Madeline Martin is a New York Times, USA TODAY, and international bestselling author of historical fiction and historical romance with books that have been translated into over twenty different languages.
