Summary
From the author of the phenomenal bestseller The Keeper of Stories, comes an utterly beautiful and charming novel full of mystery and secrets waiting to be uncovered…
Her new chapter starts now…
Jo Sorsby is hiding from her past when she agrees to run her uncle’s beloved stationery shop. Glimpsing the lives of her customers between the warm wooden shelves, as they scribble little notes and browse colourful notebooks, distracts her from her bruised heart.
When she meets Ruth, a vicar running from a secret, and Malcolm, a septuagenarian still finding himself, she suddenly realizes she isn’t alone.
They each have a story that can transform Jo’s life… if only she can let them in.
The perfect gift for book lovers, The Keeper of Stories meets The Lost Bookshop in this gorgeous novel about secrets, second chances and finding friendship in the most unlikely places.

Nothing to worry you.
I loved the characters in this story! Especially Ruth. The Scottish accent that the reader did really made her come alive! I’m sad I won’t be hearing from her again now…..an opening there Sally???

Likeable characters and good narration
I really enjoyed this book, the second by this author. I got to like and care about the characters, enjoyed their stories and felt a warmth of their personalities. The narration was excellent, easily defining every character, well read accents, that engaged the listener. I would like to hear more from this author.

Uplifting tale of friendship
A lovely narration of a beautiful, quirky friendship found at an unexpected point in Jo’s life, I particularly loved the moments around the graveyard walks and the all the visitors to the stationary shop.

A heartwarming story, especially at Christmas
A gentle tale of three people who are coming to terms with the mistakes they’ve made in their lives and how they support each other. A message of hope for all of us.
The performance was excellent
