In 1921, Françoise Frenkel - a Jewish woman from Poland - fulfills a dream. She opens La Maison du Livre, Berlin’s first French bookshop, attracting artists and diplomats, celebrities and poets. The shop becomes a haven for intellectual exchange as Nazi ideology begins to poison the culturally rich city. In 1935, the scene continues to darken. First come the new bureaucratic hurdles, followed by frequent police visits and book confiscations. Françoise’s dream finally shatters on Kristallnacht in November 1938, as hundreds of Jewish shops and businesses are destroyed.

A Remarkable Tale
Revisado: 01-30-20
I respectfully disagree with the other reviews. This book was a beautifully written retelling of a harrowing story. It provided excellent information from a point of view I hadn’t heard before while still managing to read like a novel. I was on the edge of my seat several times. The delightful narration really added to the story. An absolute treasure of a book!
