    Summary:

    1940. As the Blitz rains down bombs night after night, a devastating attack leaves London's literary center in ruins. Miraculously, Grace's bookshop survives the firestorm. Through blackouts and air raids, Grace continues running the shop, discovering a newfound comfort in the power of words and storytelling that unites her community in ways she never imagined, a force that triumphs over even the darkest nights of war-torn London.
