I LOVED this wonderful, wonderful book. Yet another book with several plots rolled into one. But Sam chose this book for me, so… Not my fault!

Emilia’s dad is her hero and, when he dies, she takes over his bookshop to carry on his legacy. The bookshop is a very central, special place in the village, with many interesting characters popping in. We find out about the other characters in their personal lives and watch as they become involved with the shop. Interspersed in the book, there are lists of different characters’favourite books. The whole novel is a celebration of literature, which I’m obviously a fan of! 

It’s not the most brilliantly written book, but the story and the characters are believable, lovable and they leap off the page.

I’d recommend this love story to anyone for a light, really enjoyable read.
