The Lost Book of BonnThe Lost Book of Bonn

"Germany, 1946: Emmy Clarke is a librarian not a soldier. But that doesn't stop the Library of Congress from sending her overseas to Germany to help the Monuments Men retrieve and catalog precious literature that was plundered by the Nazis. On Emmy's first day at work, she finds a poetry collection by Rainer Maria Rilke, and on the title page is a handwritten dedication: 'To Annelise, my brave Edelweiss Pirate.' Emmy is instantly intrigued and becomes determined to figure out the story behind what happened. The hunt for the rightful owner of the book leads Emmy to two sisters, a horrific betrayal, and an extraordinary protest against the Nazis that was held in Berlin at the height of the war. Emmy grapples with her own ghosts as she begins to wonder if she's only chasing two more. What she finds instead is a powerful story of love, forgiveness, and courage that brings light to even the darkest postwar day"--Page 4 of cover.
