The Library of War and Peace by Louise Morrish (PB)

June 2026 Book of the Month

As the war rages on outside, it is the battle within that must be won, through the quiet strength of words.

Josie Everley may have survived the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, but she lost the man she loves most to the sea.

Broken-hearted and destitute, Josie must start afresh as a library assistant at a ground-breaking, all-female-run military hospital in Endell Street.

As she focuses on her work, she never expected to meet Theo, a wounded soldier suffering his own trauma who finds solace amongst the books.
