The Last Bookshop in London by Madeline Martin
5.0

I absolutely loved this novel, set in London during WWII. Grace has to leave her home after her mother dies and her Uncle moves in with his family. Alomg with her best friend, Viv, the two women move in with Mrs. Weatherford, Grace’s late mother’s best friend. It is 1939, with preparations underway due to the expectation of a war declaration. Once the “bore war” of waiting for something to start actually comes to an end, and the blitz begins, Grace will face losses and challenges she never expected. Her only solace is Mr. Evans’ bookstore,where she works and begins to immerse herself in reading. I can’t recommend this book enough, with the characters you will love and their heartfelt stories. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
