«Les bibliotecàries del front» is the historical novel by Janet Skeslien Charles, published by Navona Editorial in paperback (448 pages, in Catalan).
In 1918, Jessie Carson leaves the New York Public Library and joins the American Committee for Devastated Regions of France. Amid the rubble, she turns ambulances into travelling libraries and trains the first French librarians. Seventy years later, a writer finds her trail in archives and connects that story with her present.
The work, whose original title is Miss Morgan's Book Brigade, arrives in Catalan in a translation by Mar Vidal Aparicio and in a first edition published in September 2025.
Historical novel for those interested in the role of women during the First World War and in the relationship between reading, memory and community.
