How someone could allege she’s an equal fan of Regency stories and J. R. R. Tolkien as Eden claims, I have no idea. Different universes. But then, Eden herself is a walking juxtaposition.
“Over the pale green book-plate that read “Borrowed from the subscription library of Green Leaf Books, Paris,” she glued a new one that read “From the Library of . . .” with space for the owner to inscribe his or her name, and “Purchased at Green Leaf Books, Paris” at the bottom. A dark green vine edged the bookplate.”

“You're prettier every time I see you. You got yourself a husband yet, lovie?"
I smiled. "No, not yet."
"Well, there's time enough for that. I've always been of a mind that a person should wait until they find the right one. No sense rushing into things. I've made that mistake often enough to know.”
― The Key to Deceit

“I had given up religion for a relationship and now walk confidently in my Father's footsteps and take great delight in knowing that despite all of my sins and failings, He loves me just as I am -- I don't have to earn His love but just accept it.”

“I found out the Germans are adding to the Otto List.”
“The Otto List?”
“The list of books banned for sale in France. It’s named after Otto Abetz, the German ambassador to Paris.”

“The store smelled of old books and woodsmoke. A counter stood on the wall to his left, flanked by bookshelves and magazine racks. Photographs hung over the counter—pictures of authors, it looked like. Bookcases jutted out from the wall to his right, and bookshelves covered every wall, even under the windows. On the shelf before him, books ran in a proper row for half a shelf, then a stack of books on their sides. More books rested in front of the row, on top, wherever they fit. New books with crisp dust jackets stood beside older titles with spines shiny from wear. More books covered a table by the window, circled by two mismatched wooden chairs and a stuffed armchair.”
