A slow, dreamy visit to Bloomsbury Books. It's post WWII 1950s London and three amazing women work in the bookstore amidst the men who are resisting change at every turn. I was immediately immersed in the time period and in the lives of Vivien, Grace and Evie. A lovely historical fiction novel to read when you want to be fully engaged in a lovely story.
Thank you to St. Martin's Press for my copy via NetGalley.

Charming and delightful, especially when narrated by Juliet Stevenson. Bloomsbury Books has always been run by the men, that is until Evie Stone shows up setting off a chain of events that breaks all 51 rules of the century old bookstore.
