Program Description

Event Details

Inspired by real historical figures, award-winning author Suzanne Nelson’s adult fiction debut follows two American librarians recruited for a spy mission to Lisbon at the height of World War II. Soon, they are drawn into dangerous subterfuge and unexpected love affairs. The Librarians of Lisbon is meticulously researched and evocatively written—fans of Kate Quinn and Kristin Hannah’s historical fiction will not be able to put this one down. 

As the web of secret aliases, sweeping romance, and high stakes gets more and more tangled, the women will inevitably be forced to choose between their missions and the men they love. In a glittering city of secrets and shadows, love is the most perilous gamble of all. 

Suzanne Nelson is the award-winning author of dozens of middle grade novels, including You’re Bacon Me Crazy, which was adapted into a romantic comedy movie for the Hallmark Channel. Her YA novel, Serendipity’s Footsteps, was a Sydney Taylor Honor Book. She was born in New Jersey, grew up in Southern California, attended college in Texas, and spent eight years as a children’s book editor in New York City. She now lives with her family in Ridgefield, Connecticut.
