This
light romantic comedy is perfect for curling up on the couch, especially now
that Daylight Savings Time is over.
In
this charming story, Emilia Nightingale has returned home from Hong Kong to be
with her beloved father, Julius, at his end. Julius owned and operated
Nightingale Books, “a cozy haven and welcoming getaway for the literary-minded
locals,” of whom there are plenty
Emilia
loves the bookshop as much as the readers in the quaint English village an hour
or so outside of London. She knew her father was having a hard time making
ends, but she had no idea how bad his finances were or what a mess they were.
As
she struggles to decide whether or not to sell, the lovable cast of character
bring her their own unique reasons why the bookshop should stay open.
“There's Sarah,
owner of the stately Peasebrook Manor, who has used the bookshop as an escape
in the past few years, but it now seems there’s a very specific
reason for all those frequent visits. Next is roguish Jackson, who, after
making a complete mess of his marriage, now looks to Emilia for advice on books
for the son he misses so much. And the forever shy Thomasina, who runs a pop-up
restaurant for two in her tiny cottage—she has a crush on a man she met in the
cookbook section, but can hardly dream of working up the courage to admit her
true feelings.”
I
couldn’t put this one down. How to Find Love in a Bookshop gets 5 out of 5
stars in Julie’s world.
