5⭐

The Book of Beginnings is a story around unlikely friendships. Written from Jo Sorsby perspective and follows her taking over her Uncles stationery shop in London. At the shop she gets to know the different customers including Ruth the Vicar, Malcolm, Eric the Viking and many more. 

I really enjoyed this story as it was heartwarming and uplifting and the unexpected friendships made. Thoughly enjoyed the writing style and can't wait to read more Sally Page books.
