Rezensionen

"Inspired by the real Missoula Boxcar Library, Labuskes (The Lost Book of Bonn, 2024) explores how isolation and distrust let corruption thrive, how community strengthens our bonds, and how our stories can connect us better than just about anything else." - Booklist

"The plot is complicated by union conflict [and] several mysteries and murders. Early 20^th-century Montana is well-evoked, and the three bookish characters are always engaging." - Historical Novel Society

"Brianna Labuskes explores union politics, gender and power dynamics, and the role of artists in society in her sweeping third historical novel. [She] examines the power of stories to move people,

provide a balm for losses, and inspire a new way of living. The Boxcar Librarian is a treat for history fans and book lovers." - Shelf Awareness

"I've always believed that the most memorable historical novels are those that, by shining a light on the past, show us a better way forward into the future. Brianna Labuskes's masterful debut is one such novel. Alternating between time periods, and armed with three richly drawn characters, Labuskes unfurls a story of censorship and fear in 1930s Germany and of hope and grit in 1944 New York. A propulsive, immersive, expertly crafted debut that reminds us of the perils of censorship, the power of books, and the duty we all have to stand up for the freedoms we hold dear." - Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author, on The Librarian of Burned Books

"The Lost Book of Bonn sheds light on the the youth groups of Germany who fought back against Hitler and highlights the Aryan women who protested the arrest of their Jewish husbands. Equal parts riveting and heart wrenching, this is a story of fighting back, of doing what's right. Brianna Labuskes has done it again with another powerful book about books that historical fiction fans will adore." - Madeline Martin, New York Times bestselling author

"Masterfully woven and intricately rendered, The Lost Book of Bonn is a poignant tale of courage and sacrifice in the face of great evil. Brianna Labuskes gives us a fascinating glimpse into the Edelweiss Pirates and those in Germany who were brave enough to take a stand against the Nazis. Both enlightening and heartrending, this book is impossible to put down!"
- Sara Ackerman, USA Today bestselling author of The Codebreaker's Secret
