Carmen blir av med jobbet på varuhuset och när hon inte får tag i något nytt, erbjuder systern Sofia henne en plats i en bokhandel. Hon ska hjälpa mr McCredie att få till I alla fall någon form av intäkt över jul, så att det finns en möjlighet att hitta en köpare.
Mr McCredie visar sig vara en bokhandlare som hellre köper än säljer, böcker. Så Carmen har ingen lätt uppgift framför sig.
Att hon dessutom inte kommer helt överens med systern (som har en fin familj, bra jobb och ett vackert hus) - och definitivt inte med den inneboende barnflickan - gör inte saken bättre.

En julroman om böcker som utspelar sig i Edinburgh - vad kan gå fel? Absolut inget!
