Brianna Labuskes is more than just a gifted writer, she is a story hunter, who delves deep into the past and finds histories forgotten heroines.
In this fascinating conversation, Brianna shares the true story of the Council of Books in Wartime--the WWII organisation founded by booksellers, publishers, librarians, and authors to use books as "weapons in the war of ideas" This book inspired, The Librarian of Burned Books.
Her latest, The Lost Book of Bonn, is about the librarians who worked for the Library of Congress, sent to Germany as part of an effort led by the Monuments Men to return Nazi-plundered books to their rightful owners.
Both of these titles are a book lovers dream.
'Language has always been a reflection of ourselves, and silencing it, banning it, destroying it, silences, bans and destroys people,' Brianna says.
