The Forgotten Bookshop in Paris

by Daisy Wood

Bookstores and libraries were her spiritual home, so quiet and calm and full of knowledge –

‘Everything I am is down to you. Your spirit gives me the courage to hope and dream and fight for what’s right. One day our children will grow up in a free country, we have to believe that, and they will be able to act and think as they please. Don’t be afraid, chéri. Death is coming for all of us, sooner or later. It’s how we live that matters.’

‘Death is coming for all of us; it’s how we live that matters.’

There were people everywhere who needed help, once you opened your eyes – and found the courage not to look away.

What havoc could be inflicted on the world by one man with a lust for power!
