Summary
‘A gorgeous story full of emotion and a very special library.’ – Evie Woods, bestselling author of The Lost Bookshop
Some stories stay with us forever…
For forty-two years, Sally Harrison has been building a library.
Each year, on her daughter’s birthday, she adds a new book to her shelves – with a note in the front dedicated to her own greatest work.
But Ella – Sally’s only child – fled to Australia twenty-one years ago after a heated exchange, and never looked back. And though Sally still dutifully adds a new paperback to the shelves every time the clock strikes midnight on July 11th, her hopes of her daughter ever thumbing through the pages are starting to dwindle.
Then disaster strikes and Ella is forced to return to the home she once knew.
She is soon to discover that when one chapter ends, another will soon follow.
All you have to do is turn the page…
Journey through the pages of this heartwarming novel, where hope, friendship and second chances are written in the margins. Perfect for book lovers everywhere and fans of Sally Page’s The Keeper of Stories.

A heartwarming story
Being a local I loved the descriptions of the familiar locations, but what really moved me was the insightful narrative around how our relationship with our parents develop as we grow up and mature. Chicken soup for the soul!

A heartwarming story.
The story is beautifully, written, heartwarming and engaging.
The story the heart any book-loving parent or child. It gently makes you re-address your priorities and think about those close to you or estranged.
The characters are whole, flawed, yet lovable and the author takes you on a journey with them.
I feel a better person for having read this book.

This book is like a big hug 😊
A reminder to us all about forgiveness, friendship, understanding, kindness and love. To keep our friends and especially family close and make the most of every moment with them.
It is funny, sad, poignant, not to mention beautifully written and I absolutely loved it! ❤️
The narrators were perfect too!
Sit down on a free afternoon, with a cuppa and this delightful book!
