libraryjen 's review for:

With Love from London by Sarah Jio
4.5
adventurous emotional medium-paced

Val is a librarian in Seattle who hasn't heard from her mother since she was 12 years old. When her mother passes away and leaves her bookstore to Val, she heads to London to settle her mother's affairs. While there she meets her mom's best friend Millie, and falls in love with her mom's bookstore. Sadly, she also finds out that the inheritance tax is going to force her to sell the building. As Val works to discover who Eloise really was and why she left, she must also work to save the bookshop.

Told in two different timelines, Eloise beginning in 1968 and her daughter, Valentina, in present day, this story is entertaining and interesting and so much deeper than what I expected. Highly recommended!
